It also will provide a living caparative analysis toward products and recommendations for the community, aiming for terminological synchronization, semantic interoperability, and [ontology development](https://purl.org/space). Example terms includes: 'astronautics', 'spaceflight', 'orbital debris', 'ssa', 'stm', 'space', 'spacecraft', 'orbit', etc. [Contact here](https://ontospace.wordpress.com/contact).

Example sources include aerospace dictionaries, standards organizations documents, space agency docs., etc. ### Goals +- To clarify concepts and terminoloy - To provide a non-exhaustive catalog of key generic terms and their various definitions (serving as a general reference). - To examine and compare terms and those definitions (semantic, conceptual analysis). - To identify inaccuracies & errors
