# Concepts

Shared domain vocabulary for this project — entities, named processes, and status concepts with project-specific meaning. Seeded with core domain vocabulary, then accretes as ce-compound and ce-compound-refresh process learnings; direct edits are fine. Glossary only, not a spec or catch-all.

## Relationships

A **Trip** owns its **Entries** and **Stories**. Exactly one Trip is the **Active Trip** at a time; it is the one surfaced on the home page and the target for new posts. Entries and Stories are always scoped to a Trip — they do not exist independently.

## Trip

### Trip
A single journey the blog is organised around — the top-level content entity. A Trip aggregates its Entries and Stories and carries its own metadata (title, start/end dates, cover image, route GPX files). Each Trip renders as one consolidated **Trip page** showing an inline map, a filtered feed, and inline stats; the journal, map, stats, and story views are not separate pages.

### Active Trip
The one Trip currently featured — set in site config and read by the home page and the post form. Switching the Active Trip is a deliberate, multi-file change; if the post form's target and the featured Trip fall out of sync, new posts land under the wrong Trip.

### Entry
A single dated journal post within a Trip — the atomic unit of the day-to-day travel log.
*Avoid:* daily, journal post

The Trip's journal section is labelled "Journal" and lives in the Trip's `dailies` container, so an Entry is colloquially "a daily"; in templates and page metadata the same thing is called an `entry`. Entries carry a date, optional location and coordinates, weather, and photos, and are ordered by date within a Trip.

### Story
A long-form, designed narrative piece within a Trip — hero image plus scrollytelling/gallery sections — distinct from the short, dated Entry. Stories are curated set pieces; Entries are the running log.

## Flagged ambiguities

- "daily" / "entry" / "journal post" all refer to the same concept (a dated journal post). Canonical term: **Entry**. The section/folder is named "dailies" and the nav label is "Journal" — these name the *collection*, not a different entity.
