Well, since I know NOTHING about your topic, I'm going to step right out into the void....
Having been a college English teacher much of my life, I do know a bit about extended definition. Thus, never say, "xyz is when..." Instead, name the thing, give the class to which it belongs, and show how it differs from other members of the class. E.g., a librarian is an administrator who maintains a collection of books, or erosion is a process of gradual wearing away by the action of wind and water. See?
However, in extended definition, you must go beyond a simple sentence or two to show or demonstrate a concept. You might explain not only what it is, but what it is not. You might touch upon its history, how it works, how it affects other concepts (or markets, or populations, or processes). Did someone create it? What would happen if it had never been invented? Etc. etc. Extended definition can take you almost anywhere you want to go...but its main purpose is to explain or clarify a topic that is not well understood.
Hope that helps!!
