## Terminology for the project. Please revise as you see fit

* **Active** = A true/false database field that displays or hides a data point on the treetracker.org treemaps
* **Capture Matching Feature** = A feature that matches previous tree data points to a new data point, based on location, image recognition, species and time stamp
* **Certificate** = A database table that allows several tree id's to be linked together on a map (depreciating)
* **Cluster** = A group of trees on the treetracker.org map that is clustered together under one pin
* **Datapoint** = a small packet of data sent from the planter's phone to the database that contains: timestamp, location, image, user and more.
* **Duplicate** = a data point or verified tree that has multiple records
* **Donor** = a database field that links a certificate to a specific organization (depreciating use case)
* **Dead** = A database field that identifies trees that are likely dead.
* **Entity\_id** = The wallet (requires a person\_id or a planting\_organization)
* **Greenstander** = someone who willingly spends considerable time or money to create this system
* **Grower** = A better term for a planter
* **GPS Accuracy** = A database field that captures the phones reported GPS Accuracy level (at the time of the photo) in meters. (33% error)
* **Missing** = A database field for trees that have not been relocated for an extended period of time
* **Mobile money** = payment and money trasnfer systems, like Mpesa, that allow funds to be sent to a users phone or sim card
* **Organization** = A database field that places a group of Donors and their Tree Tokens under the umbrella of a specific organization
* **Planting organization** = referring specifically to an organization that is planting trees and selling that environmental impact.
* **Priority** = A database field that can be set to make an individual pin on the planters phone flash red (inactive field)
* **Planter** = A user using the Tree Tracker Planter app to collect data on trees
* **Person\_id** = (From the Trees Table in the DB) is the entity\_id that is linked to that planter\_id
* **Planter\_identifier** = a felid that users enter into the app to create a user account (email or phone #)
* **Tree** = a woody perennial plant, typically having a single stem or trunk growing to a considerable height and bearing lateral branches at some distance from the ground
* **Tree Capture** = a tree picture under the `tree table` that can be converted into a token.
* **Token** = a tree capture and it's related data, that has been placed in a wallet and can be traded. Often used to represent incremental growth of a tree (as set in the tree token creation document). May have a value factor attached.
  1. Base codable information from incoming data (and value factor)
  2. Image
  3. Initial Entity\_ID
* **Value\_factor** = a database field that calculates relative value using different tags ascribed to each tree capture, such as tree\_species.
* **Verified Tree** = A capture that has been accepted by a verification protocol - assumed to be a tree with a high probability of existence, based on image and collected data sets. (note these verification and acceptance criteria are specific to use cases)
