Domain	Definition
Aerospace	Biologically, the aeration of the lungs and blood by breathing; the inhalation and exhalation of air in the process of respiration. (references)
Energy	The process of supplying orremoving air by natural or mechanical means to or from any space. Such air may ormay not have been conditioned or treated. (references)
	The process of moving air (changing) into and out of an interior space either by natural or mechanically induced (forced) means. (references)
General	Process of supplying or removing air by natural or mechanical means to or from any space. Source: European Union. (references)
Health	1. in respiratory physiology, the process of exchange of air between the lungs and the ambient air. Pulmonary ventilation (usually measured in litres per minute) refers to the total exchange, whereas alveolar ventilation refers to the effective ventilation of the alveoli, in which gas exchange with the blood takes place. 2. in psychiatry, verbalization of one's emotional problems. (references)
Medicine	The tidal exchange of air between the lungs and the atmosphere that occurs in breathing. Source: European Union. (references)
Mining	The provision of an adequte flow of fresh air along all roadways, travelling roads, workings and service points underground. Source: European Union. (references)
	All procedures and installations for providing fresh air to mine workings, diluting and removing toxic and vitiated air and firedamp, and improving the mine climate. Source: European Union. (references)
	Mine workings are usually subdivided to form a number of separate ventilating districts. Each district is given a specified supply of fresh air and is free from contamination by the air of other districts. Accordingly, the main intake air is split into the different districts of the mine. Later, the return air from the districts reunite to restore the single main return air current at or near the upcast shaft.See also:compound ventilation; fan drift; regulator. (references)
Personal Care & Hotels	The process of supplying or removing air, by natural or mechanical means to or from any space. Source: European Union. (references)
Public Administration	In biology and first aid, the major element of respiration, indicating the entry of oxygen into the lungs and the exhaling of carbon dioxide, thus ventilating the blood and tissues of the body. Source: European Union. (references)

Context	Synonyms within Context (source: adapted from Roget's Thesaurus).
Air	Exposure to the air, exposure to the weather; ventilation; aerostation, aeronautics, aeronaut.
Inquiry	Examination, review, scrutiny, investigation, indagation; perquisition, perscrutation, pervestigation; inquest, inquisition; exploration; exploitation, ventilation.
Reasoning,	Discussion, comment; ventilation; inquiry.
Wind	Sufflation, insufflation, perflation, inflation, afflation; blowing, fanning. Verb: ventilation.
