Thanks for sharing this info! Just wanted to also briefly reply to this:
Quoting is basically transcluding in Discourse. Once you start a Topic or a Reply here, you can browse anywhere on the forum (e.g. do a search), and then highlight text to quote it into your Topic/Reply. Maybe you meant something else by “transclusion”, but this is what I took it to mean (quoted from your other topic):
Definitions
First, some definitions:
classification, n.
Origin : A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin classificatio.Etymology : < post-classical Latin classificatio (1673 in a German source; 1767 in Linnaeus) < classical Latin classis class n. + -ficātiōn - , -ficātiō
The result of classifying; a systematic distribution, allocation, or arrangement of things in a number of distinct classes, according to shared characteristics or perceived or deduced affinities. Also: a system or method for classifying.
The action of classifying or arranging in classes, according to shared characteristics or perceived affinities; assignment to an appropriate class or classes.
catalogue, n.
Etymology : < French catalogue , and < late Latin catalogus , < Greek κατάλογος register, list, catalogue, < καταλέγειν to choose, pick out, enlist, enroll, reckon in a list, etc., < κατά down + λέγειν to pick, choose, reckon up, etc
A list, register, or complete enumeration; in this simple sense now Obsolete or archaic.
Now usually distinguished from a mere list or enumeration, by systematic or methodical arrangement, alphabetical or other order, and often by the addition of brief particulars, descriptive, or aiding identification, indicative of locality, position, date, price, or the like.
Simply put: classification is where things go , either on a shelf or in a computer system and so on. More information .
Cataloging is what we call things, the subject headings, aliases or tags, we give them. More information.
Hope that’s helpful!
