description: 'The business glossary UK Power Networks publishes on its Open Data Portal, sourced from
  the company''s internal business glossary and served as the ukpn-business-glossary dataset over the
  same Explore API v2.1 that serves every other dataset. Captured verbatim from an anonymous records call
  on 2026-07-27: 94 terms, licensed CC BY 4.0. The dataset publishes only the term labels through the
  API — the human-readable definitions live on the portal glossary page linked below and were not machine-readable
  at capture time, so no definitions are asserted here.'
