.. _glossary: ======== Glossary ======== .. glossary:: media A collection of 0 or more closely-related **audio** and/or **video** files and metadata that describes them. See :class:`mediadrop.model.media.Media` for the definition in code. slug A unique, search-engine-friendly identifier for an item. It is made up of purely alphanumeric characters and hyphens. status A set of pre-determined flags describing a content item: * publish * draft * trash * unencoded * unreviewed * user_flagged See :mod:`mediadrop.model.statuses`. tag A keyword or term that describes some aspect of a content item. Typically these can be more specific than :term:`topic`'s because they can be created on an *ad hoc* basis. topic A category of content. Unlike :term:`tag`'s these are not created on an *ad-hoc* basis: generally you confine yourself to a small list of topics because the list should be easy to read over for users. unencoded Audio or video that is not in a web-friendly format. unreviewed Audio or video that has been added, but doesn't have admin approval yet.
