Subject: [Leica] What is Giclee?

I thought I would pose this question to this group. To try to put some 
parameters around the question, I am being told that my injet prints, using 
archival inks and paper, are not "giclee". 
Though I know this term, directly translated, means to spray, and I know 
that much of the use of this term by photographers is for "marketing" 
purposes, I am curious if you believe that the use of this term for my 
prints is accurate (archival pigments sprayed on archival papers of either 
scanned negatives or digital photographs).
Thanks very much for any opinions you care to share. Any pointers to truly 
authoritative literature or sources would be greatly appreciated.
Best,
Bob
