I do not think there exists a single universally recognized formal
international standard that defines the exact meaning of these terms. I
have seen many slightly contradicting definitions of these terms used by
different authors. Therefore, whenever you use terms, best attach a
brief definition yourself to clarify what exactly you mean.
