# Standardized Terminology

This document provides a reference for the preferred terminology to use when discussing Rememberizer features and concepts. Following these standards helps maintain consistency across documentation.

## Preferred Terms and Definitions

| Preferred Term        | Alternate Terms               | Definition                                                                                                                                                                              |
| --------------------- | ----------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Vector Store          | Vector Database               | The preferred term for Rememberizer's vector database implementation is "Vector Store." While "Vector Database" is technically accurate, "Vector Store" should be used for consistency. |
| Vector Embeddings     | Embeddings                    | The full term "Vector Embeddings" is preferred in educational content, while "Embeddings" is acceptable in technical contexts and code examples.                                        |
| Data Source           | Knowledge Source, Integration | "Data Source" is the preferred term for referring to the origins of data (Slack, Google Drive, etc.).                                                                                   |
| Common Knowledge      | Shared Knowledge              | Use "Common Knowledge" when referring to the feature that allows sharing knowledge with other users and applications.                                                                   |
| Memento               | Memento Filter                | Use "Memento" as the primary term, though "Memento Filter" is acceptable in UI contexts.                                                                                                |
| Memory Integration    | Shared Memory, Memory         | "Memory Integration" is the preferred full name of the feature; "Shared Memory" is acceptable in user-facing content.                                                                   |
| OAuth2 Authentication | OAuth                         | Use the full term "OAuth2 Authentication" in formal documentation, though "OAuth" is acceptable in less formal contexts.                                                                |
| Search Your Knowledge | Search in Rememberizer        | "Search Your Knowledge" should be used when referring to the feature name in titles and navigation.                                                                                     |
| Memorize              | Store                         | Use "Memorize" for the API endpoint and functionality name, while "Store" can be used in explanatory contexts.                                                                          |
| X-API-Key             | x-api-key                     | Use capitalized "X-API-Key" in documentation, though lowercase is acceptable in code examples.                                                                                          |

## API Conventions

### API Documentation Directory

The official API documentation path is `/en/developer/api-docs/`. The legacy path `/en/developer/api-documentations/` should be phased out.

### API Headers

The following header conventions should be used consistently:

* **Authorization Header**: `Authorization: Bearer YOUR_JWT_TOKEN`
* **API Key Header**: `X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY`
* **Content-Type Header**: `Content-Type: application/json`

### API Endpoint Styling

API endpoints should be styled consistently:

* Base URL: `https://api.rememberizer.ai/api/v1/`
* Endpoint paths in lowercase with hyphens as needed: `/documents/search/`
* Vector store paths with parameter placeholder: `/vector-stores/{vector_store_id}/documents/search`

## Feature Naming Conventions

### Integration Names

Integration names should follow the pattern:

* Rememberizer {Integration Name} integration (e.g., "Rememberizer Slack integration")

### MCP Server Naming

MCP server types should be clearly distinguished:

* **Rememberizer MCP Server**: General-purpose server
* **Rememberizer Vector Store MCP Server**: Server specifically for vector store operations

## Document Title Conventions

Document titles should follow these conventions:

* Capitalize important words (Title Case)
* Use consistent terminology for features
* Avoid acronyms in titles unless widely recognized (e.g., API)
* Keep titles concise and descriptive

## Using This Guide

When creating or updating documentation, refer to this guide to ensure consistent terminology. When encountering variant terms in the documentation, prioritize updating to the preferred terms listed here when making other changes to those documents.

Remember that maintaining link integrity and file names is crucial, so focus on updating terminology within the text while preserving URLs and file structures.
