I'd say the definition is whatever definition the team you work in uses. For example for me at work, seeding = automatic database setup for a test system with example data

No, the definition of industry terms is the way they would be understood by other people in the industry. Seeding is understood to be critical data such as area code lists and timezone information.

You're not wrong. Seeding _is_ automatic database setup, just not only for test systems.

That's kind of the point. Ask three different people in the industry, get three slightly different definitions, unless they work in the same team.
