Inclined elevator

Specific to Japan and Korea are these slope cars that are almost always called monorails by the general media and public (the page discusses the ambiguity). Anyhow, it seems clear based on the existing database that "inclined elevator" systems are classified as funiculars on this website, despite being distinct. What about slope cars? The main difference is that they can travel at different slopes, the cars are not at a fixed angle, and they often have turns in the trackway. It is on a single rail using a rack railway gear system.
A while ago I had been adding dozens of "monorail" systems in South Korea, but I want to know precisely how to classify these different types, and if my previous understanding that inclined elevator = funicular on this website is correct. For the record, I think monorail is a bad term because it encompasses tiny bicycle railways as well as AGT style tyre trains which I think have more to do with AGTs..
