Glossary

Base field

A field that represents responses for proposals and/or attributes of
organizations. For example, a base field of organization_mission_statement may
be part of an application form field labeled “What is your mission statement?”
or may be part of an organization’s attributes returned by a data provider.

Changemaker

A person or group that makes change. For example, a grant applicant, grant
recipient, non-profit organization, or an individual seeking funds.

Initiative

A project or program led by a changemaker. For example, a food bank’s summer
meals program. A changemaker may lead many initiatives.

Terminology set

A funder-authored bundle of display-label overrides for canonical PDC concepts
(e.g. “opportunity”, “application form”, “proposal”). A funder may publish many
terminology sets and pick one as the default that newly-created opportunities
adopt. Individual opportunities can also reference a terminology set explicitly.
A label left null falls back to the PDC default.
