Want to see how several specific terms relate/compare? Use this to look up multiple terms concurrently and see them side by side.
Know the exact term name already? Use this for the cheapest, most precise lookup. It is the right default for 'what does X mean' once you know X exactly.
Want every term under one subject area (e.g. 'Drilling', 'Geology')? Use this to get all terms filed under a specific topic.
Only need URLs, not full definitions (e.g. to list candidates before fetching a few)? Use this to get just the term names and their glossary URLs.
Get a list of all available glossary topics/subject areas. Call this first if you do not already know the exact topic name for use with glossary_get_terms_on.
Want a term at random, optionally within a topic? Use this for term-of-the-day style exploration or random sampling.
See how terms relate/compare. Returns terms linked from one term's own definition, showing semantic relationships within the glossary.
