What is a declarative definition in an sentence?

I have never heard of a "declarative definition" as a grammatical term, and I find nothing online that makes sense. (It all seems to have to do with the tech business and maybe computer programming somehow.)

etc.

So ... I would say that it's probably a straightforward definition of a term in a declarative sentence. Here's my guess for an example:

In computer usage, download means to transfer a file from an Internet website to one's own computer.
