# Glossary data

> How glossary definitions are represented as reusable structured objects.

## Glossary entry model

Glossary entries are compact reference objects. They should define a term without trying to replace a complete topic page.

```json theme={null}
{
  "id": "private-key",
  "term": "Private Key",
  "definition": "Secret cryptographic material used to authorize signatures and blockchain actions.",
  "aliases": [],
  "topicIds": [],
  "relatedTerms": [],
  "sourcePage": null,
  "status": "published"
}
```

## Status lifecycle

`draft` → `review` → `published` → `deprecated`

This gives future editorial tooling a simple way to distinguish incomplete material from public reference content.

<Warning>
  Definitions should not contain seed phrases, private keys, credentials, or operational secrets in examples.
