What is the difference between terminology and a glossary?

Although both terms are often used synonymously, there is an important difference:

  • Terminology describes the entire body of industry- and company-specific terms, as well as the rules governing their use.
  • A glossary is the document or directory in which these terms, translations and additional information are collected and maintained.

In short: Terminology is a company's linguistic knowledge – a glossary documents this knowledge.
