Basic Concepts and Definitions

Throughout this manual, several concepts are used extensively. Here we define the most important ones, their respective nomenclature and some useful notation. The description of how simplified model topologies are defined and described are presented in Simplified Model Definitions, while the concepts relevant for the database of experimental results are described in Database Definitions.
