A controlled vocabulary can be understood as both a document and a database of valid terms for a particular information domain.
A controlled vocabulary is any deliberately-designed set of terms, which constitutes some official subset of some domain-specific language. A controlled vocabulary can operate in the human sphere, such as with a thesaurus or jargon lexicon, in the computer realm with APIs and database schemas, or straddling the two with taxonomies and ontologies.
