Done as a project for a class assignment. “Because word of mouth is the primary means of communication within the community, and documentation is severely lacking, there has been no cause for agreement over the years as to standard spellings and meanings of common bellydancing terms and concepts. While NAMEDA has been working on the broader standards document, an active and dedicated interest group within NAMEDA, the League of Bellydancing Librarians, Indexers and Archivists (LoBeLIA), have been addressing the problem of the language used to describe Middle Eastern Dance.  As a pilot project, LoBeLIA has focused on the language used to describe bellydancing costume items and accessories. This beta version serves as the first module of a planned online Thesaurus of Bellydancing (ThoBe), which contains roughly 85 preferred terms. Future versions of ThoBe will expand to include other bellydancing-related terms such as dance steps and dance and musical styles.”
