} What means "DAG"?

Directed Acyclic Graph, as opposed to a tree (hierarchy) in this case. This
is a tree (assume all edges are directed down the page):

 /\
/\ \

This is a DAG:

 /\
/\ \
  \/\

In a tree, every (non-root) node has exactly one parent. In a DAG, every
(non-root) node has at least one parent.
