Terminology:

Message Queue Interface (MQI)
Queue Manager (QM), which hosts Queues and Channels

Queues can be:
Local queue (held in the QM)
Transmission queue (basically a Bridge)
Remote queue definition (basically a Foreign Queue)
Alias queue (just a nickname for an existing queue)
Model queue (a template)
Cluster queue (like a Uniform Distributed Queue)
Shared queue (???)
Group definition queue (???)
