This glossary will help you to understand the meaning which we associate to some terms used in this wiki.

Content

The data on which we apply the diff or merge tools.

Change

A modification of a content made by the user.

Difference

A comparison of a content before and after a change.

Semantic difference:

A difference described by rules related to semantic (by opposition to a difference related to non semantic aspects, like characters or lines).

Example of semantic difference: "a function has been moved".

Note: a semantic difference is not the same as a change in semantic, which is about the semantic of a content being changed.

Semantic description

The description of a change using semantic differences.
