for terminology covered in a subset of the foremost scholarly education journals, the “...multiple defining passages...that help inform readers
of [a given term's] richness and complexity; [to] allow users to see how people writing in different kinds of journals tend to converge on the
meaning of a term.” (Introduction to the Dictionary of Education, http://macweb.soe.umich.edu/plus/intro.html)
