What makes it living?

✻ The glossary structure uses the idea of a ‘gloss’ which means annottation and layer. It makes the glossary a layering of anotations rather than a list of definitions. The pad template uses each word as a card with multiple annotations where you can collect multiple voices for each word.

✻ Being written in a markdown file makes it permeable to changes, new elements and transformations.

✻ It also offers the option of add properties to each word in order to find connections and multiple types of organization between them.

✻ Via Markdown is possible to add hyperlinks. It means that you can easily communicate your annotation to other pieces of information outside the glossary.
