# Media Context Glossaries
> “All words, in every language, are metaphors.” — Marshall McLuhan
**Version:** 2025-10-07
**Maintained by:** [Media Context](https://github.com/Media-Context/CTRL-L)
**License:** Code — Apache 2.0 · Datasets — CC BY 4.0

### 📘 Overview
Media Context develops open, multilingual glossaries for independent newsrooms and researchers.
Each dataset provides standardized terminology, editorial usage guidance, and risk notes for work in and about authoritarian or censored environments.
See [impact.md](https://github.com/Media-Context/CTRL-L/blob/main/impact.md) for measured effects on generation, summarization, translation, and editorial QA when glossaries are wired into retrieval + term-rule control layers.
They help cut terminology/legal errors by around 40-60% in generation and improve translation consistency past 97% when used as control layers.
This is the first public release of the glossary suite; if you notice gaps or can document new terms, we actively welcome pull requests and issue reports.
Current datasets:
| Dataset | Format | Description |
|----------|---------|-------------|
| **Belarus Glossary** | `.md` | Terminology, usage notes, and risk guidance for Belarus coverage. |
| **Russia Glossary** | `.md` | Terminology, usage notes, and risk guidance for Russia coverage. |

### 📑 Dataset Schema
Each glossary ships as a Markdown table for easy import into spreadsheets or static sites. Columns are:
- `term_en` — canonical English term used as the primary identifier.
- `term_ru` — Russian-language term; `term_be` appears only in the Belarus glossary.
- `context` — thematic/category tag for filtering.
- `usage_notes` — English newsroom guidance (ASCII only).
- `risk_notes` — English risk and legal reminders (ASCII only).
- `editorial_status` — workflow flag (`approved`, `pending`, `review`).
