Enhance book documentation: expand glossary and update progress tracking (#48)
Quality improvements to book reference materials: 1. Glossary Expansion (book/back_matter/glossary.md) - Fixed duplicate entries in original glossary - Expanded from ~82 lines to ~225 lines with 56+ comprehensive terms - Organized into 11 categorical sections for easy reference: * Core Concepts (9 terms) * Identifier Types (5 types) * Space-Filling Curves (2 curves) * Coordinate Systems (5 systems) * Container Formats (4 formats) * Hardware and Performance (7 technologies) * Testing and Development (3 tools) * Geospatial and GIS (8 systems/tools) * Robotics and Scientific Computing (4 tools/concepts) * Integration and Ecosystem (4 platforms) * Data Structures (2 structures) * Comparison Systems (3 alternatives) - Added missing terms: Route64, Hilbert64, Frame Registry, ECEF, ENU, WGS84, container types, hardware platforms (AVX2, NEON, CUDA, Metal, Vulkan), testing tools, GIS tools, integration platforms, and comparison systems 2. Enhancement Tracking Updates (book/BOOK_ENHANCEMENT_SUGGESTIONS.md) - Updated document version to 1.2 - Added comprehensive Quality Improvements Session section documenting: * Glossary expansion completion * ERRATA.md system verification * Cross-reference validation (no broken references found) * Technical corrections verification * Formatting consistency review - Updated completion status for multiple priority items: * Priority 2.3: Cross-references (verified) * Priority 2.5: Minor issues (completed) * Priority 3.1: Glossary (completed) * Priority 3.3: Formatting consistency (substantially complete) * Priority 4.3: ERRATA.md system (completed) - Documented that only visual assets and index remain for publication All written content now publication-ready with comprehensive reference materials. Outstanding work limited to visual asset creation (40-80 hours) and index generation (5-8 hours). Co-authored-by: Claude <[email protected]>
