The Glossary is meant to be specific to Planning and Programming. There are quite a few excellent Project Management glossaries around and they include many, but not all, of the definitions in the PEO Glossary. Also, of course Programme Management glossaries include many other definitions that are not strictly of importance to planners and schedulers.
Naturally some of the definitions in the PEO Glossary will be similar, or even the same, as in other glossaries (after all there are only so many words in the English language with which to describe things), however, I have tried to aim for ease of understanding and use.
As Gary says comment and feedback is welcome, where possible please address feedback should be addressed to glossary@planningengineers.org (I might not always notice comments on PP)

Regarding the glossary, is it different from the PMBOK (Project Management Body of Knowledge) - American National Std? In our company normally we use this standard as our reference.

Hi Ritchie
The Planning Engineers Organisation closed down a few years ago when Gary retired.
It was a great loss to the planning community.

Nice work David. That must have taken some time.
Id suggest adding:
Schedule Logic - the relationships and constraints that determine the activity timetable
