Glossary Canonical terminology for Strixonomy IDE, Strixonomy engine, OntoUI, and the Ontologos platform. Use these terms consistently in planning, architecture, and implementation docs.
Term Definition Status Strixonomy engine Rust semantic workspace engine — indexing, queries, diagnostics, reasoning integration, refactoring, CLI, LSP, plugin host Implemented (v0.27) Strixonomy IDE VS Code extension — host shell, commands, LSP client, webview hosting Implemented (v0.27) OntoUI Shared React UI platform — component library, design tokens, workspace runtime; lives in extension/webview-ui/ Partial — WorkspaceStore + focus relay shipped v0.13 ; plugin inspector cards shipped v0.14 OntoStudio Future standalone desktop application reusing OntoUI + Strixonomy engine Planned (post v1.0) Workspace Task-oriented product surface (Entity, Graph, Query, Reasoning, Refactoring, …) — not a VS Code workspace folder Partial — cross-panel focus sync shipped v0.13; surfaces remain webview panels Current Focus Active semantic object (entity, axiom, query, diagnostic, graph node) that drives UI synchronization Shipped (v0.13) WorkspaceStore Single source of truth for OntoUI global state Shipped (v0.27) WorkspaceRegistry Registry mapping workspace type → factory / component Partial — capability registry shipped v0.14 WorkspaceHost Host adapter bridging OntoUI to a shell (VS Code webview, future Electron/Tauri) Partial — VS Code extension host only Capability Provider Plugin-provided implementation of a platform capability (reasoning, querying, AI, refactoring, diagnostics, import/export) Shipped (v0.14) — MVP registry + inspector cards Plugin host Strixonomy engine runtime that discovers workspace manifests and runs in-process or subprocess plugins Shipped (v0.14) Ontologos External OWL reasoner (EL/RL/RDFS/DL) integrated via strixonomy-reasoner Implemented (v0.9+)
Disambiguation Avoid Use instead "VS Code workspace" when meaning product UI Workspace (product) or "VS Code workspace folder" "Shared React UI" / "Frontend platform" OntoUI (implementers); say "Strixonomy panels" for end users "SQL" without qualification catalog SQL (subset) "Plugin" (generic) Capability Provider when referring to extensibility interfaces "Panel" (long-term) Workspace (product surface); "panel" OK for current webview implementation Bare "Strixonomy" when the audience might confuse IDE vs engine Strixonomy IDE or Strixonomy engine — Product identity cargo install strixonomycargo install strixonomy-cli (repo is strixonomy; CLI crate is strixonomy-cli) OntoIndex / ontoindex Strixonomy engine / strixonomy (renamed in v0.9) OntoCore / OntoCode Strixonomy engine / Strixonomy IDE (renamed in v0.27) OntoLogos (alternate casing) Ontologos
