This is a work of non-fiction.
Unlike other fictional universes, the Doctor Who universe is created solely by fiction. To us, this is not a valid source. Information from this source can only be used in "behind the scenes" sections, or on pages about real world topics.
The Official Doctionary was a reference book by Justin Richards aimed at the younger reader with short paragraphs on a range of topic that are organised under various categories written from the viewpoint of the Eleventh Doctor referencing the more recent years of Doctor Who, from Rose 2005 up to The Big Bang in 2012.
Publisher's summary

Here he explains some of the trickier concepts of time, space, Time Lord technology and the mysteries of the universe. This Doctor’s dictionary is invaluable for budding time travellers and intergalactic companions.
