SWGDE provides this Glossary of Terms with general, as well as discipline specific, definitions as they apply across the spectrum of image analysis, computer forensics, video analysis, and forensic audio. Sources are notated within brackets at the end of the definition when that definition came from outside of SWGDE. The following abbreviations will be used throughout this glossary and appear before the definition as applicable:
( i ) Image Analysis
( c ) Computer Forensics
( v ) Video Analysis
( a ) Forensic Audio
( p ) Photography
( q ) Quality & Standards
*This list is a duplication of the terms provided in the published document ‘SWGDE Digital & Multimedia Evidence Glossary,’ which can be downloaded from the Documents menu. However please note, this page is updated before the document is, therefore the most up to date version will appear here first.

Conformance to the relationships between fields, subfields, or information items within atransaction to other values within the same transaction as specified in this standard.

A component of error whereby replicate measurements remain constant or vary in a predictable way - for example, an uncalibrated instrument would produce a constant systematic error. (NIST HF)

A method that employs a specific search sequence to increase accuracy and minimize omissions, while maximizing coverage. Such patterns usually have set start and stop points.

Any reward perceptible by touch for the canine.

Chemical markers (e.g., Nitro compounds) that vaporize rapidly and are added to enhance the detection of plastic explosives by instrumental analysis.

acquisition and study of the spectra of the product ions or precursor ions of m/z selected ions, or of precursor ions of a selected neutral mass loss

Acronym for Toe and foot print Acquisition Profile. It is a series of sets ofprogressively more stringent parameters and requirements relevant to plantar printacquisition

All of the processes resulting in the decomposition of organic material. Also pertains to the study of the processes affecting remains between death and discovery

The study of the processes affecting remains after death.

The study of the processes affecting remains after death.

The odor/scent for which the canine is trained to respond. (See source).

A fuel that is subject to ignition by thermal radiation such as from a flame or a hot gas layer.

A specific set of friction ridge features selected as a starting point during comparison.

A diagnostic ion used for comparing relative intensities of other monitored ions when calculating ion ratios.

A pathway that was laid by a target subject that matches the scent article presented to the canine. (See matching scent trail.)

The process of conditioning an animal to touch a particular object.

Any object struck by a projectile, regardless of whether it was struck intentionally.

A specific job behavior or activity.

Information that is not pertinent or applicable to the subject, material, or question being considered. The consideration may be broad (i.e., case or discipline level) or specific (i.e., task level) (see 3.1.32 bias, 3.1.33 bias cognitive, 3.1.34 bias confirmation, 3.1.34 bias contextual).

The information that is necessary for drawing conclusions: 

a) about the propositions in question; 

b) from the physical evidence that has been designated for examination; 

c) through the correct application of an accepted analytic method by a competent analyst.
