note: ActionStreamer publishes a 142-term glossary covering live video transport, codecs, network connectivity,
  wearable hardware and field-operations concepts. Terms and URLs below are the provider's own, enumerated
  from https://actionstreamer.com/sitemap.xml; the `group` field is an API Evangelist grouping applied
  for navigation and is not published by ActionStreamer. No definitions are reproduced here — each entry
  links to the provider's page.
term_count: 142
index_url: https://actionstreamer.com/glossary
grouping_note: groups are an API Evangelist overlay, not provider taxonomy
gap: The glossary is human-readable HTML only. It is not published as SKOS, JSON-LD, or any machine-readable
  vocabulary format, and none of its terms are referenced from the OpenAPI contract, so the platform's
  own domain language is not connected to its API schema names.
