Hi,

I have published the following glossary on my web site and have had it
available for a little over a year:

http://www.berezin.com/3d/Glossary.htm

Although some of the definitions are flawed (they are limited by being
one-person's opinion) and it has a few links to my web site, I would be
happy to expand on it and change it to make it more generally
applicable.  If anyone has additional changes and definitions for it I
would be more than glad to incorporate them to make it a more general
web tool.
