Matthew gives the following definition:
| Conformance.
|
| Agreeing or corresponding in character or qualities.
|
| Source. Taken from the 'Oxford English Dictionary'
| definition for "congruous".
I find that puzzling. Why not just look up "conformance"?
| Conformance. SYN: Conformity.
|
| Conformity.
|
| 1. Correspondence in form, manner, or character.
|
| Agreement.
|
| 2. An act of instance of conforming.
|
| 3. Action in accordance with some specified standard or authority.
|
| Obedience.
|
| Source. 'Webster's Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary'.
In fine, much of the work in these definitions is done by the
ideas of Accordance, Agreement, Correspondence, and Obedience.
