	Jesse James Garrett: Visual Vocabulary for Information Architecture
		A visual vocabulary is a set of symbols used to describe something (usually a system, structure, or process).
		The vocabulary described here may be used by an information architect or interaction designer to describe, at a high level, the structure and/or flow of the user experience of a Web site.
		The vocabulary should not favor the use of any particular software tool, but should instead enable architects to work with the tools they are most comfortable using.

	RDF Vocabulary Description Language 1.0: RDF Schema
		This specification does not attempt to enumerate all the possible forms of vocabulary description that are useful for representing the meaning of RDF classes and properties.
		Instead, the RDF vocabulary description strategy is to acknowledge that there are many techniques through which the meaning of classes and properties can be described.
		For example, an RDF vocabulary might describe limitations on the types of values that are appropriate for some property, or on the classes to which it makes sense to ascribe such properties.

	FOAF Vocabulary Specification
		FOAF as a vocabulary cannot incorporate everything we might want to talk about that is related to people, or it would be as large as a full dictionary.
		Any vocabulary described in RDF shares this basic model, which is discernable in the syntax for RDF, and which removes one level of confusion in understanding a given vocabulary, making it simpler to comprehend and therefore reuse a vocabulary that you have not written yourself.
		This is particularly important for a vocabulary which describes people, since people connect to many other domains of interest, which it would be impossible (as well as suboptimal) for a single group to describe adequately in non-geological time.

	AFT: Publications: American Educator Spring 2001: Teaching Vocabulary
		Both of us had come to the conclusion that vocabulary growth was inadequately addressed in current educational curricula, especially in the elementary and preschool years and that more teacher-centered and planned curricula were needed, just as had been the case with phonics.
		If vocabulary acquisition is largely sequential in nature, it would appear possible to identify that sequence and to ensure that children at a given vocabulary level have an opportunity to encounter words they are likely to be learning next, within a context that uses the majority of the words that they have already learned.
		Specifically, increased teacher-centered vocabulary work should include the deliberate introduction of a wider range of vocabulary in the early primary years through oral sources (most children are limited in what they can read at this age level), ensuring coverage of about 4,000 root words by the end of grade 2.

	L517 Vocabulary
		For example, vocabulary lists that include unrelated words with definitions for students to memorized are likely to be forgotten.
		You also feel that students would benefit from a vocabulary activity since the text introduces a lot of vocabulary that is new to your students.
		Another reason you want to do a vocabulary activity is because a lot of the vocabulary in this text is vocabulary that they will see and need to know when reading texts about other insects later in the unit.

	The Partnership for Reading -- Explore the Research -- Vocabulary Instruction
		Vocabulary refers to the words we must know to communicate effectively.
		In general, vocabulary can be described as oral vocabulary (the words we use in speaking or recognize when listening) or reading vocabulary (the words we recognize or use in print).
		Vocabulary instruction should focus on important words (key words to help readers make sense of the text), useful words (words they will encounter often), and difficult words (words with multiple meanings, idiomatic words, etc.).

	Vocabulary as a central concept in Information Science
		Vocabulary can be defined as the range (or repertoire) of values in any field of bibliographic description and, in a more extended sense, the range of types in a set at any level (word, field, collection, and library).
		We have spoken of multiple vocabularies as if each were straightforward and homogeneous, but any vocabulary is likely to be internally inconsistent, whether through the variation in an individual's usage or because a multiplicity of actors is involved, each with his or her personal usage (synchronous variation).
		Vocabulary is also important because it is central to issues of identity, which, in turn, are central to society.

	Geometry Forum - Geometry Through Art: Vocabulary (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Examples of student art work cited to draw attention to vocabulary are more effective than teacher-made or textbook-derived data.
		In the ongoing process of making geometrical constructions and designs, what a student perceives, understands, and needs to know can be readily observed, not only in the way the tasks on hand are engaged, but in the comparative stages of accomplishment of student work.
		Because the approach we are using is so heavily visual and kinesthetic, vocabulary is intrinsic only insofar as it is needed by students to deal with doing geometry and making art.

		Vocabulary development begins when a parent responds to the sounds a baby makes.
		A child responds immediately to the environment around him/her, and the parent responses contribute to the development of a child’s listening vocabulary.
		Through listening to stories being read aloud, children begin to get a “sense of story.” They begin to hear words like characters, setting, problem, and dialogue, and add these terms to their ever-growing internal dictionary.
