Herbrand structure

In mathematics, for a language $\mathcal{L}$, define the Herbrand universe to be the set of ground terms of $\mathcal{L}$.

A structure $\mathfrak{M}$ for $\mathcal{L}$ is a Herbrand structure if the domain of $\mathfrak{M}$ is the Herbrand universe of $\mathcal{L}.$ This fixes the domain of $\mathfrak{M}$, and so each Herbrand structure can be identified with its interpretation, leading to the alternative nomenclature of Herbrand interpretation.

A Herbrand model of a theory T is a Herbrand structure which is a model of T.
