Baseline (Advocacy)

Projection of the receipts, outlays, and other budget amounts that would ensue without any change in existing policy. Baseline projections are used to gauge the extent to which proposed legislation, if enacted, would alter current spending and revenue levels.

Baseline (Agile Modeling)

A tested and certified version of a deliverable representing a conceptual milestone which thereafter serves as the basis for further development and that can be modified only through formal change control procedures. A particular version becomes a baseline when a responsible group decides to designate it as such.

Baseline (Autism)

Refers to the condition of participants at the start of a study. At the end of the research, it provides a comparison to help determine if treatment was successful or not.

Baseline (Badminton)

The back boundary line at each end of the court, parallel to the net.

Baseline (Basketball)

1. One of the two lines that mark the lengthwise boundaries of the court. 2) A loosely defined area just inside the baseline, used in phrases such as, "He drove the baseline and made a layup."

Baseline (Business Process)

The current condition that exists in a situation or representation (model) of a situation. Usually used to differentiate between a current and a future representation. Management plan and/or fixed point against which a project plan is measured.

Baseline (Clinical Trials)

1. Information gathered at the beginning of a study from which variations found in the study are measured. 2. A known value or quantity with which an unknown is compared when measured or assessed. 3. The initial time point in a clinical trial, just before a participant starts to receive the experimental treatment which is being tested. At this reference point, measurable values such as CD4 count are recorded. Safety and efficacy of a drug are often determined by monitoring changes from the baseline values.

Baseline (Congressional)

Projection of the receipts, outlays, and other budget amounts that would ensue without any change in existing policy. Baseline projections are used to gauge the extent to which proposed legislation, if enacted, would alter current spending and revenue levels.

Baseline (GPS)

A Baseline consists of a pair of stations for which simultaneous GPS data have been collected. Mathematically expressed as a vector of coordinate differences between the two stations, or an expression of the coordinates of one station with respect to the other (whose coordinates are assumed known, and is typically referred to as a "Base" or "Reference" Station).

Baseline (Graphic Design)

in typography, the imaginary horizontal line upon which the main body of the letters sits. Rounded letters actually dip slightly below the baseline to give optical balance.

Baseline (HIV and AIDs)

The initial time point in a CLINICAL TRIAL or treatment REGIMEN, just before someone starts to receive the treatment in question. At this reference point, measurable values such as CD4 CELL COUNT and VIRAL LOAD are recorded so they can be compared to later results. Safety and EFFICACY of a drug are often determined by monitoring changes from the baseline values.

Baseline (Import Cars)

An initial reference point.

Baseline (Internet Metrics)

A snapshot or a position which is recorded. Although the position may be updated later, the baseline remains unchanged and available as a reference of the original state and as a comparison against the current position.

Baseline (Land Management)

Information related to the as-is (current) model that allows comparison with future improvements and benchmarks.

Baseline (Learning)

1) Valid and reliable information about the intended learner population used to ascertain differences between learners' performances before and after instruction. 2) A set of measurements (metrics) that seek to establish the current starting level of a performance. These measurements are usually established before implementing improvement activities.

Baseline (Mathmatical Markup)

The baseline is an imaginary alignment line upon which a glyph without a descender rests. The baseline is an intrinsic property of the glyph (namely a horizontal line). Often baselines are aligned (joined) during typesetting.

Baseline (Newspaper Design)

An imaginary line that type rests on.

Baseline (Paper)

In typesetting, the invisible line on which letters and numbers set.

Baseline (Psychoactives)

1. the normal phychological and physical state of a person prior to the start of an experiment which, once regained, marks the end of that experiment

Baseline (Publishing)

The imaginary line on which typeface characters rest.

Baseline (Sensors)

A reference set of data against which operating data is compared

Baseline (Shoes)

Last designed with standard bottom measurements to facilitate the design and manufacture of components to fit.

Baseline (Technology)

In the printing and display of characters on the screen, an imaginary horizontal line with which the base of each character, excluding descenders, is aligned. See also ascender, descender, font.

Baseline (Tennis)

A line at the end of the court, parallel to the net, that marks the lengthwise boundary of the playing area.

Baseline (Typography)

The imaginary line on which the majority of the characters in a typeface rest.
