 ### Terminology
 
-* **Asset issuance:** The creation of a new asset item.
-* **Asset transfer:** The action of transferring an asset item from one account to another.
-* **Asset burning:** The destruction of an asset item.
-* **Non-fungible asset:** An asset for which each unit has unique characteristics. There is exactly
-  one item of such an asset in existence and there is exactly one owning account.
+* **Collection creation:** The creation of a new collection.
+* **Item minting:** The action of creating a new item within a collection.
+* **Item transfer:** The action of sending an item from one account to another.
+* **Item burning:** The destruction of an item.
+* **Non-fungible token (NFT):** An item for which each unit has unique characteristics. There is exactly
+  one instance of such an item in existence and there is exactly one owning account.
 
 ### Goals
 
 The Uniques pallet in Substrate is designed to make the following possible:
 
-* Allow accounts to permissionlessly create asset collections.
-* Allow a named (permissioned) account to mint and burn unique assets within a collection.
-* Move asset items between accounts permissionlessly.
-* Allow a named (permissioned) account to freeze and unfreeze unique assets within a
+* Allow accounts to permissionlessly create NFT collections.
+* Allow a named (permissioned) account to mint and burn unique items within a collection.
+* Move items between accounts permissionlessly.
+* Allow a named (permissioned) account to freeze and unfreeze unique items within a
   collection or the entire collection.
-* Allow the owner of an asset item to delegate the ability to transfer the asset to some
+* Allow the owner of an item to delegate the ability to transfer the item to some
   named third-party.
