What are the differences between "Storyline", "Plot Outline" and "Plot Summary"?

I am repeatedly asked to supply a "Plot Outline" for a title in a particular language, even when a "Storyline" in that language is already available for that title. 

OTOH, what is labelled "Storyline" on the main page of a title also appears on the "Plot Summary" page.

What are the differences between "Storyline", "Plot Outline" and "Plot Summary"? What functions do they have? Where does the "Plot Outline" appear?

The plot outline appears at the top of the title page. The English outline also appears as the first item of the plot summary page. If no plot summaries have been submitted, it will also appear under Storyline.

Plot summaries appear on the plot summary page, and one of them also appears under Storyline. If no outlines have been submitted, the summary will also appear at the top of the title page.
