Initial key terms, most applicable fields, and core approach toward consensus

(A) Proposed key terms to define.

(B) Proposed most applicable specific fields the nomenclature guide will be used in; however, others may also find this work useful.

(C) A mixed method approach with a modified Delphi method. This approach entails an initial round with pre-selected open-ended questions (i), strategic refinement and categorization (ii), and collaborative consultation (iii) in an iterative manner (ii and iii) until a suitable level of consensus is achieved (iv). If consensus is not reached on any specific terms, a weighted majority voting system will be implemented to reach a conclusion (v).
