After reading Stephen's post on Guerilla Oracle Tuning (http://communities.ptc.com/blogs/WindchillPerf/2014/06/17/ptclive-2014-presentation-on-on-what-windchill-administrators-should-know-about-oracle#comment-13807) it occured to me that it would be useful for us to have a glossary or dictionary of terms as they relate to Windchill.
Not sure what format or method (wiki?) would work best, but here's a start (sorry, out of time for the moment to fill out the terms).
