Concordism

What is concordism? In the recent letter of Glenn's, he talks against
accommodationalism, but the quote from Paul Seely actually has him writing
in an article "The First Four Days of Genesis in Concordist Theory...."
Having not read the article, I don't know the full context.
 
My understanding of accommodationism is that which Paul (and Glenn)
describes -- the Bible shouldn't be expected to make scientific statements
which satisfy the scientific rigor of 21st century thought, because when it
was given it had to be relevant to an ANE audience.
 
But I thought that concordism was different, meaning the use of alternative
explanations to show that the Bible IS actually scientifically accurate,
such as Mesopotamian or Caspian Basin or Mediterranian floods, Hugh Ross'
long ages in Genesis 1 which are in a scientifically accurate sequence (or
so it's claimed), etc. In other words, finding "concord" between science
and scripture.
 
Am I mistaken here, or is this how these terms are generally used here?
