Mandala Terms (https://mandala.shanti.virginia.edu/terms) lets you explore words and their definitions. You can also see content linked to each term around Mandala, and add your own content to existing Terms.
What's the difference between subjects and terms?
Many features overlap between subjects and term Knowledge Maps, but each site has a different primary concern. Subjects focuses on topics and the ontological relationships between them. Terms focuses on the words themselves and their definitions.
