Defining, and Data, and Terms - Oh My! A LS 502 post

I am slightly stuck on what terms I should and should not define for methodology. I've always had that problem in that something may be clear to me but very unclear to others and I do not pick up on that. I have about seventeen terms that I am going to define. Mostly terms found common in the archive field, and more technical terms used not found in everyday conversation.

I am also have concerns about how to define my sample. I'm trying to find a general sense of the archival community, but I also wonder if I should include museums and private oral history recorders (like StoryCorp). Should I also talk with IT people, too? The possibilities abound.
