What is the difference between terminology and nomenclature?
If I want to say that I use the same words with the exact same meaning as author X, what would you say?
- "We use the same terminology as author X"
or
- "We use the same nomenclature as author X"

Based on these definitions from NOAD, terminology seems a little broader, that is all, while nomenclature seems more systematic and deliberate.
