  1. Workspaces: Collections of apps and data within a pillar of context
  2. Apps: units of capability that are defined by discrete, consistent records
  3. Records: A medium to longterm container of fields and data
  4. Entries: Short to medium term, highly unstructured data
  5. Views: Structured ways to present records (and maybe entries)
  6. Schema: Shared, global descriptions of common data practices
  7. Fields: Highly structured data with defined parameters
  8. Relationships: Containers that related to each other through specific values
  9. Filters: Queries performed on a record set as defined by given fields
  10. Visualizations: High-level non-linear summaries of larger data sets
  11. Calculations: Mathematical queries/summaries of records
  12. Users: People who are the subject of data or access
  13. Share: Access that’s defined proactively or reactively as driven by context
  14. Annotations: Human-driven value-added context
  15. Devices: Physical hardware for accessing systems
  16. Navigation: Way finding to traverse through contexts and views
  17. Messages: Information that informs a user of an action
  18. Identity: A way of federating a user as defined by data
  19. Interfaces: Pointer modes for the system
  20. Evaluations: Machine-driven observations
  21. Action: Verbs that happen to data at a timestamp
  22. Code: Instructions and language for a machine
  23. Machine: A human-driven invention that executes code
  24. Context: Channels of data as defined by the limits of cognition
  25. Human: An organic, conscious, and dynamically driven machine
  26. System: Something architected
