Logseq/Entity/Term/Acronym

• Acronym

  • In this garden, Acronym pages model term pages whose name is an acronym, with the expanded phrase carried as an alias.

  • Examples in this garden

    • TAM — Total Addressable Market

  • An add-on to a term page

    • Acronym is declared after the type that shapes the page, on a page that is already a term of some kind: Logseq/Entity/Term for a glossary entry, or Logseq/Entity/Concept when the acronym gets a full explanation, as TAM does.

  • What counts as an Acronym

    • The page name is the acronym or initialism itself, and readers look up the letters: TAM, SOTA, PEBCAK.
    • alias:: carries the fully expanded phrase: alias:: [[Total Addressable Market]].
    • A page named by the full phrase is a Term or Concept; the short form can be one of its aliases. A clipped word such as Keyshort is an Logseq/Entity/Abbreviation.

  • Naming

    • The page name is the acronym, and nothing else about the name is fixed. The page sits wherever its topic puts it: at the root like TAM and SOTA, or inside a namespace like EdTech/OER and xAPI/LRS.

  • Frontmatter

    • logseq-entity:: — the primary type first, then this page: logseq-entity:: [[Logseq/Entity/Term]], [[Logseq/Entity/Term/Acronym]], or logseq-entity:: [[Logseq/Entity/Concept]], [[Logseq/Entity/Term/Acronym]].
    • alias:: — the expanded phrase.
    • Legacy acronym pages carry tags:: [[Term]], [[Acronym]], and that tagging stays as it is.
    • Shared frontmatter conventions live on Logseq/Frontmatter.

  • Page shape

    • The primary type sets the shape. The H1 gives the expansion with the acronym in parentheses, - # Total Addressable Market (TAM), so the letters and the phrase appear together at the top.

  • Relationship to Abbreviation

    • Logseq/Entity/Abbreviation is a primary type for every shortened form, contractions included. Acronym is the add-on for the subset whose page name is an acronym, declared after Term or Concept.

  • Finding and deduplicating

    • Search the letters as a page name, the expanded phrase as a title or alias, and pages tagged [[Acronym]] that lack logseq-entity::. The legacy tag marks candidates; add the entity when a page is revised, and leave a bulk backfill for when the author asks for one.
