Re: [community-group] How do you refer to files in the DTCG format? (#164)

What if we were straightforward with it...

* **Design Tokens Schema (DTS)** 
    * _a.k.a., "tokens schema" or "schema"_
    * JSON schema that defines DTCG Design Tokens format _(currently not available)_
* **Design Tokens JSON (DTJ)**
    * _a.k.a., "tokens JSON" or "JSON"_
    * a JSON file that follows the Design Tokens Schema (i.e., follows the DTCG specification)
    * this file may be defined by various strategies:
        * verbatim as manually-written JSON
        * compiled from manually-written source files (JSON, JSON5, YAML, TS, etc.)
        * managed from within design software (Figma, Sketch, Adobe suite, etc.), either directly or via plugins
        * generated from a database via a programmatic API
        * etc.
* **Design Tokens package (DTP)**
    * _a.k.a., "tokens package" or "package"_
    * only necessary for tools/workflows that need to package non-JSON assets alongside DTJs
