Foundations

This section holds the shared vocabulary behind the rest of the DIAL documentation: how the platform's parts relate and what each term means. It is for anyone reading the docs, and it assumes you have read What is DIAL.

In this section

• Concept map — a visual and narrative map of how Core, adapters, applications, Toolsets, interceptors, and the UI layers fit together.
• Glossary — the canonical definition of each term used throughout the documentation.

Start with the concept map for one picture of the platform. Use the glossary whenever a term is unfamiliar.
