name: Spectra Vocabulary
description: |
Historical domain vocabulary for Spectra (defunct; merged into OVG360 on
2022-02-25). Spectra delivered three primary lines of business across roughly
330 top-tier client venues in North America and globally: venue management,
food services & hospitality, and partnerships (property sales, naming rights,
hospitality, strategic consulting). This vocabulary captures the operational
and commercial concepts Spectra used so that any preserved contracts, RFPs,
or industry references can still be reasoned about semantically.
