Dinoframe dictionary

Dinoframe's mascot 'Zaur'

The Dinoframe dictionary powers the dictionary section on Dinoframe.io and T-Rex Translator discord bot. Users can lookup mainframe acronyms, terms, and slang through the website or discord bot.

Guidelines for naming things in the dictionary

The full name of the item should be in the name field, for example RACF would be Resource Access Control Facility. Below are some examples.

Use the full name only

Correct: Resource Access Control Facility

Incorrect: Resource Access Control Facility (RACF)

Use the official name and spelling

Correct: $AVRS

Incorrect: SAVERS

Use proper capitalization and include special characters

Correct: z/OS

Incorrect: zOs

Guidelines for keywords

If the item has alternate names, acronyms or slang variations then keywords should be added. Resource Access Control Facility should have RACF listed as a keyword for example, so people who don't know the full name can still find it.

Link only to sites that use secure protocols. If a site doesn't have proper encryption we should not link to it. Other than this you can look to Dinoframe.io, IBM documentation, or other reliable sources.
