Content Types - A content type is fairly straight forward in Backdrop, it is a type of content that you wish your CMS to manage, examples might be: Locations, Events, Posts, Pages, Venues, Articles, Modules, or Products.
Nodes - Nodes are individual pieces of content. Each individual Page, Post, Venue, or Article is a node.
Fields - Fields are individual points of data included in a node or other entity in Backdrop. An individual event node, might include the following fields - Title, date, venue, price, refund policy.
Taxonomies - The taxonomy system in Backdrop CMS is used to classify and organize content. The most commonly used taxonomy on a Backdrop site might be tags which allows a site editor to filter or sort content based upon common tags. In the world of Backdrop CMS, tags would be a vocabulary consisting of many terms (in this case the individual tags would be terms).
Vocabularies - are individual groups of taxonomy terms that you can use to organize your content. On your Backdrop site you might create a vocabulary of regions, colors, sizes, event types, or price range.
Terms - The most basic unit of content in the taxonomy system. Individual terms are part of a larger vocabulary that one uses to group and classify their content. If a vocabulary is 'colors', then individual terms would be 'red,' 'yellow,' or 'blue.' If a vocabulary is regions, the individual terms might be 'New England,' 'Midwest,' or 'Pacific Northwest.'
