+    Ansible (the package)
+        A software package (Python, deb, rpm, and so on) that contains ansible-base and a select group of collections. Playbooks that worked with Ansible 2.9 should still work with the Ansible 2.10 package. See the :file:`ansible-<version>.build` file in the release-specific directory at  `ansible-build-data <https://github.com/ansible-community/ansible-build-data>`_ for a list of collections included in Ansible, as well as the included ``ansible-base`` version.

+    ansible-base
+        New for 2.10. The installable package (RPM/Python/Deb package) generated from the `ansible/ansible repository <https://github.com/ansible/ansible>`_. Contains the command-line tools and the code for basic features and functions, such as copying module code to managed nodes. The ``ansible-base`` package includes a few modules and plugins and allows you to add others by installing collections.

+    Collection
+        A packaging format for bundling and distributing Ansible content, including plugins, roles, modules, and more. Collections release independent of other collections or ``ansible-base`` so features can be available sooner to users. Some collections are packaged with Ansible (version 2.10 or later). You can install other collections (or other versions of collections) with ``ansible-galaxy collection install <namespace.collection>``.
+
+    Collection name
+        The second part of a Fully Qualified Collection Name. The collection name divides the collection namespace and usually reflects the function of the collection content. For example, the ``cisco`` namespace might contain ``cisco.ios``, ``cisco.aci``, and ``cisco.nxos``, with content for managing the different network devices maintained by Cisco.
+
+    community.general (collection)
+        A special collection managed by the Ansible Community Team containing all the modules and plugins which shipped in Ansible 2.9 that do ont have their own dedicated Collection. See `community.general <https://galaxy.ansible.com/community/general>`_` on Galaxy.
+
+    community.network (collection)
+        Similar to ``community.general``, focusing on network content. `community.network <https://galaxy.ansible.com/community/network>`_` on Galaxy.

+    Fully Qualified Collection Name (FQCN)
+        The full definition of a module, plugin, or role hosted within a collection, in the form <namespace.collection.content_name>. Allows a Playbook to refer to a specific module or plugin from a specific source in an unambiguous manner, for example, ``community.grafana.grafana_dashboard``. The FQCN is required when you want to specify the exact source of a plugin. For example, if multiple collections contain a module plugin called ``user``, the FQCN specifies which one to use for a given task. When you have multiple collections installed, the FQCN is always the explicit and authoritative indicator of which collection to search for the correct plugin for each task.

+    Namespace
+        The first part of a fully qualified collection name, the namespace usually reflects a functional content category. Example: in ``cisco.ios.ios_config``, ``cisco`` is the namespace. Namespaces are reserved and distributed by Red Hat at Red Hat's discretion. Many, but not all, namespaces will correspond with vendor names. See `Galaxy namespaces <https://galaxy.ansible.com/docs/contributing/namespaces.html#galaxy-namespaces>`_ on the Galaxy docsite for namespace requirements.
