Glossary

Engineering Language

The human-readable authoring layer for engineering intent.

Engineering Ontology

The governed vocabulary of concepts, relationships, constraints, and behavior that gives engineering meaning a stable conceptual base.

Engineering IR

The canonical graph-oriented representation of engineering instances used by compiler passes.

Engineering Compiler

The pass-based execution system that validates, derives, diagnoses, and prepares outputs from canonical IR.

Knowledge Compiler

The governed path that turns standards and reviewed extracted knowledge into ontology additions, mappings, and rule artifacts.

Semantic Graph

The relationship-centric internal shape of engineering instances where identity and typed edges are explicit.

Renderer

A downstream adapter that turns compiled semantics into a target format or view.

Plugin

An extension that adds domain, target, rule, standards, knowledge, AI, or language capability through declared contracts.

Standards Mapping

The reviewed translation from public standards language into ontology, rule, and compiler-consumable artifacts.
