An agent, which removes the colour from previously dyed cloth. Hence the ‘discharge style’ of printing fabric.

Discharge printing,
Method of producing lighter free-standing motifs on a darker ground by printing a previously dyed fabric with a chemical reducing agent which will withstand the action of the reducing agent can be included in the printing paste, and during treatment the dyed colour will be removed from the fabric and replaced by the non-dischargeable colour. A fabric printing method in which colour destroying or bleaching agents are applied to a previously dyed fabric. The original dye gets removed from the area where the bleaching agent is applied and a white or lighter coloured area remains. Sometimes the discharged area is coloured with a dye that is impervious to the bleaching agent, producing a coloured instead of white area on the originally dyed fabric.

Disclosed Traditional Knowledge,
“Disclosed traditional knowledge” refers to “[traditional knowledge which is accessible to persons beyond the indigenous or local community which is regarded as the ‘holder’ of the [traditional knowledge]. Such [traditional knowledge] might be widely accessible to the public and might be accessed through physical documentation, the internet and other kinds of telecommunication or recording. [Traditional knowledge] might be disclosed to third parties or to non-members of the indigenous and local communities from which [traditional knowledge] originates, with or without the authorization of the indigenous and local communities.”
The “List and Brief Technical Explanation of Various Forms in which Traditional Knowledge may be Found” (WIPO/GRTKF/IC/17/INF/9) discusses disclosed traditional knowledge and undisclosed traditional knowledge further.
Disclosure,
According to Black’s Law Dictionary, a “disclosure” is a revelation of facts or act or process of making known something that was previously unknown. In the field of copyright, “disclosure” may mean making a work accessible to the public for the first time. First publication of works is one—but not the only possible—form of disclosure, since works may also be disclosed through non-copy related acts, such as public performance, and broadcasting to the public by cable (wire). Recognition of such a right is not an obligation under international copyright norms. The Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works (1971), refers to the use of publicly disclosed works in the context of exceptions, and the author has the right to disclose his work to the world. Under certain national laws, the “right of disclosure” is a moral right.

Disclosure Requirements,
Disclosure is part of the core rationale of patent law. Patent law imposes a general obligation on patent applicants, as referred to in Article 5 of the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT), “to disclose the invention in a manner sufficiently clear and complete for the invention to be carried out by a person skilled in the art”. However, “disclosure requirements” is also used as a general term for reforms made to patent law at the regional or national level, and proposals to reform international patent law, which would specifically require patent applicants to disclose several categories of information concerning traditional knowledge and/or genetic resources when these are used in developing the invention claimed in a patent or patent application. Three broad functions have been considered for disclosure methods relating to genetic resources and traditional knowledge: - to disclose any genetic resources/traditional knowledge actually used in the course of developing the invention (a descriptive or transparency function, pertaining to the genetic resources/traditional knowledge itself and its relationship with the invention); - to disclose the actual source of the genetic resources/traditional knowledge (a disclosure function, relating to where the genetic resources/traditional knowledge was obtained) – this may concern the country of origin (to clarify under which jurisdiction the source material was obtained), or a more specific location (for instance, to ensure that genetic resources can be accessed, so as to ensure the invention can be duplicated or reproduced); and - to provide an undertaking or evidence of prior informed consent (a compliance function, relating to the legitimacy of the acts of access to genetic resources/traditional knowledge source material) - this may entail showing that genetic resources/traditional knowledge used in the invention was obtained and used in compliance with applicable laws in the country of origin or in compliance with the terms of any specific agreement recording prior informed consent; or showing that the act of applying for a patent was in itself undertaken in accordance with prior informed consent.

Discontinuous fabric,
A fabric woven in such a manner that it is removed from the loom as a non-circulating, flat rectangle. The manner of warping the loom through a comb usually results in a discontinuous length of fabric.

Discontinuous supplementary weft,
Supplementary weft weaving in which extra weft threads are worked back and forth across limited areas of warp to shape pattern units.

Divi-Divi,
The dried pods of Caesalpina coriaria growing in the West Indies and S. America; they contain 20 to 35% tannin and a brown colouring matter.

Doctor,
A traversing steel blade, which is placed in contact with the engraved cylinder and serves to scrape off the surplus colour from the raised (non-printing) surface. The term is now applied to any blade-type squeegee.

Documentation,
The Oxford English Dictionary defines “documentation” as the accumulation, classification and dissemination of information; the material as collected. Documenting traditional knowledge and traditional cultural expressions may include recording them, writing them down, taking pictures of them or filming them—anything that involves recording them in a way that preserves them and could make them available for others. It is different from the traditional ways of preserving and passing on traditional knowledge and traditional cultural expressions within the community. Documentation is especially important because it is often the way people beyond the traditional circle get access to traditional knowledge. The “List and Brief Technical Explanation of Various Forms in which Traditional Knowledge may be Found” discusses documented traditional knowledge and non-documented traditional knowledge further.

Dominant,

Double ikat,
The ikat-resist dyeing process applied separately to both warp and weft threads. The fabric is woven to achieve a balanced plain or tabby weave so that the patterning of both sets of loom threads emerges.

Double running stitch,
A type of flat stitch, this stitch consists of a simple running stitch worked in two journeys over the same line. This stitch, which appears the same on both sides of the fabric, is known by several names: Holbein, line, square, stroke, two-sided line, two-sided stroke, and Romanian stitch. Ottoman embroiderers manipulated this stitch in innumerable ways to create many pleasing results.
