A classification, like the International Classification of Primary Care (ICPC) delimits a field and must follow rules as to hold mutually exclusive categories. A dictionary is a set of definitions that supports one classification system. The future
is uncertain but the definitions, like those stated in the Dictionary for General/ Family Practice (GP/FM) (2) are inescapable.
Out of the Gutenberg age, the global knowledge network implies classified, mapped and interrelated dictionary named terminologies for human reading and ontologies for machine use.
