# Glossary | ||
|
||
This guide is aimed to familiarize the users with definitions to relevant DVC | ||
concepts and terminologies which are frequently used. | ||
|
||
## Workspace directory | ||
|
||
Also abbreviated as workspace, it is the root directory of a project where DVC | ||
is initialized by running `dvc init` command. Therefore, this directory will | ||
contain a `.dvc` directory as well. | ||
|
||
## Cache directory | ||
|
||
DVC cache is a hidden storage which is found at `.dvc/cache`. This storage is | ||
used to manage different versions of files which are under DVC control. For more | ||
information on cache, please refer to the this | ||
[guide](/doc/commands-reference/config#cache). | ||
|
||
## Pipeline | ||
|
||
In our documentation, it has also been referred to as a computation graph. It is | ||
an ordered set of some executable commands, each of them stored in a Dvcfile. To | ||
get familiar with its usage, please refer to this | ||
[tutorial](/doc/get-started/example-pipeline#example-pipelines). | ||
|
||
## DAG | ||
|
||
It is an abbreviation for Directed Acyclic Graph. DVC pipeline is also a graph | ||
of this type which stores a chain of commands which can be applied in a | ||
particular order. |
