| Workspace | A customer instance of Starhive, with a subscription plan attached. Most customers operate with just one, typically named after their company. |
| Space | A collection of configuration and data — types, attributes, and relationships — with its own permissions and the objects created within it. Example: Product Information Management. |
| Type | Defined by its attributes, which describe the properties/metadata an object of that type can have. Example: Product. |
| Attribute | Belongs to a type; each has its own configuration, governed by its attribute type. Example: Apparel size. |
| Attribute Type | Sets the rules and configuration options for an attribute — Text, Email, Boolean, Date, Media, Completeness, Location, and more. |
| Object | A representation of a distinct entity belonging to a specific type. Example: Prada triangle-logo suede boots. |
| Relationship / reference | A connection between object types enabling cross-references — e.g. a Product referencing an Apparel Size type. |
| User roles | An account with access to Starhive; permissions determine the right to view, create, edit, and delete things — see User roles and permissions. |
| StarQL | Starhive's query language, used to search for and order sets of objects. |
