-Seems that Slicer's taxonomy of the entities that can comprise a scene can be confusing. We should try to at least define the concepts we use heavily somewhere.
+Seems that Slicer's taxonomy of the entities that can comprise a scene can be confusing. We should try to at least define the concepts we use so users can understand how to regard the scene itself, and things that populate it.
 * A new user may not understand what a scene is.
 * An ROI is a general term in practice; Slicer uses it to mean an object that delimits the region.
-* What distinguishes a fiducial and a glyph.

+* What distinguishes a glyph with a defined dimension (diameter for instance) and an ROI?
 * Is there a distinction between a manually defined painted region and predefined circle or sphere?
-* Slicer's scene contains other entities besides what users commonly regard as data. So would be good to clarify a taxonomy of entities for these things -- like camera, a view, a layout, or parameter nodes.
+* What distinguishes a label map and a scalar overlay?
 Below is a table of confusing Slicer terms and what they map to in IGT user language.
