;[[File:Gramps-person.png|right]]<span id="person">Person</span>: ''({{icon|peop}} [[#primary_object|prim. obj.]])'' - Contains the information specific to an individual person in the People category. The information may be edited directly using the [[#edit_person|Edit Person]] dialog.
;[[File:Gramps-place.png|right]]<span id="place">Place</span>: ''({{icon|plac}} [[#primary_object|prim. obj.]])'' - The Gramps concept of a Place is a particular location independent of time. Over time, the same Place may have different hierarchical (or name) information due to changing borders and political situation. For example, Leningrad and St. Petersburg represent the same place, but with different names. Places in Gramps are stored in a hierarchy and are direct accessed via the [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Categories#Places_Category|Places category view]]. Places can be defined (or refined) through the [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Entering_and_editing_data:_detailed_-_part_2#Place_Editor_dialog|Place Editor ]] and shared with the [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Entering_and_editing_data:_detailed_-_part_2#Select_Place_selector|Select Place]] object selector. A Place consists of:
:* Descriptive Title
:* Name (with optional date span and language attributes)
:* A list of alternative names for the place
:* Type ([[#administrative_division|administrative divisions]] such as country, state, county ...)
:* [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Entering_and_editing_data:_detailed_-_part_2#Coordinates_Parser|Longitude/Latitude]]
:* Code (such as a country code or postal code)
:* A hierachical hierarchical list of regions which enclose the place

;<span id="secondary object">Secondary object</span>: Secondary objects are contained within other [[#object|objects]] of the structured Gramps [[Gramps_Data_Model|data model]], and cannot be referenced directly. They can contain other secondary objects. Examples include: Name, Date and Address. See [[Using_database_API#Secondary_Objects|Using database API, Secondary Objects]] (see also ''[[#primary_object|primary object]]'')
;<span id="selector combo box"><span id="combo box">Selector combo box</span></span>: ''([[#gui|graphical user interface terminology]])'' - a [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Main_Window#Selector_Combo_BoxesCombo_Boxes|standard text entry box paired with a pull-down list button]] is a [https://docs.gtk.org/gtk3/visual_index.html Gtk toolbox widget] (based on the standard [https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Combo_box combo box]). The combination of a drop-down list and a single-line editable textbox allows the user to: either key in a value directly; or, select a value from the listor key in a value directly. Moreover, keying in a value that is not already in the list will add that [[#custom|custom type]] to the drop-down list.
;<span id="sharing">Shared objects</span>: {{icon|share}} Sharing allows an Object to be linked at multiple places in the tree. Doing so establishes a relationship or maintains single set of attributes (or [[#secondary_object|secondary objects]]) that they hold in common. ([[#role|Roles]] for shared Events define the person or family participation level.)
: • The '''Shared Information''' of an object will be seen in all instances that are linked to it.</span></span>
;<span id="selector">Selector</span>: combo Combo interface box that allows you to select an object. The [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Settings#Selector_dialogs|Select Family selector]] is one example.
;[[File:Gramps-source.png|right]]<span id="source">Source</span>: ''({{icon|sour34}} [[#primary_object|prim. obj.]])'' - Sources can be a person ''(family, friend, another researcher)'', thing ''(book, magazine newspaper, census)'', or place ''(courthouse, church, library, genealogical/historical society... although places might be better handled as Repositories)'' from which information comes, arises, or is obtained. After [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Entering_and_editing_data:_detailed_-_part_2#Editing_information_about_sources|adding a Source]] with the [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Entering_and_editing_data:_detailed_-_part_2#New_Source_dialog|new source dialog]] to the [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Categories#Sources_Category|Sources category]] of a Gramps Tree, the Source can be referenced when adding a [[#citation|Citations]] and organized within [[#repository|Repositories]]. The same Source may exist in multiple Repositories and may have different Media Types (such as book, microfilm, or electronic) and Call numbers in each Repository.

;<span id="xml">XML</span>: acronym: [https://wikipedia.org/wiki/XML E'''x'''tensible '''M'''arkup '''L'''anguage]. A schema used to define the expected structure of data in a text format. The system annotates a document in a way that data elements are syntactically distinguishable from identifying tags. A markup language defines a set of rules for encoding documents in a fault tolerant format that is both (marginally) human-readable and machine-readable.
: Gramps works with a database file when editing Trees. But for backup files and data transfer, Gramps will [[Generate_XML|generate XML]] format natively (in compressed and uncompressed forms ) identified with a <code>.gramps</code> or <code>.gpkg</code> file extension. It is the format that definitively supports every piece of genealogical data stored by Gramps. Used as the working format until Gramps 2.0 started using a ''[[Database_Backends|database backend]]'' to improve performance, XML is now the standard Tree data backup format and recommended data exchange format.Importing a backup and transfter file into a Tree database in necessary before use.
