Use consistent terminology in ontology and frontend #4

Closed epatters closed 5 years ago

epatters commented 5 years ago

After much discussion, we've decided to adopt PLT-style terminology (types, functions, etc.) instead of category-theoretic terminology (objects, morphisms, etc.) for the ontology. This choice is already reflected in the frontend, but not in the ontology data itself. That may seem a small matter but it creates a non-negligble barrier for new contributors.

To fix this, we need to update:

I'm going to do this in two steps:

  1. Update the JSON schemas for concept and annotations, and all downstream tools
  2. Update the S-expressions themselves, and all downstream tools

Sounds good. Clarifying question: what's S-expression?

epatters commented 5 years ago

By "S-expression" I mean the definitions appearing in function annotations, e.g., in read-sql-table

[
  compose,
  [ construct, [ pair, sql-table-database, sql-table-name ] ],
  read-table
]

So instead of pair, this will say apply, etc.
