Status vocabulary
Every status term used anywhere on this site, defined and versioned, across seventeen dimensions that deliberately disagree with each other.
What it is
The definitions are the contract. A term with no definition cannot be rendered — the build fails instead. Development state, availability, release status, access and scientific qualification are separate dimensions so that none of them can stand in for another.
What it lets you do
Look up exactly what a status term means, in a versioned document, instead of guessing from the word.
Limitations
None recorded — which for an available resource means none are known, not that none exist.
