Lace Knitting vs. Knitted Lace
Geoff Hunnicutt has the answer in his Knitpicks Video Tutorial. Click on the colored text to go right to it.
He defines 'lace knitting' as lace with a pattern row #1, followed by a purl row #2.
If you are knitting flat, row #1 would be the right side row, and row #2 the wrong side row.
He defines 'knitted lace' as lace with pattern row #1 followed by a different pattern row #2, and on for the number of rows in the pattern.
Knitted Lace can get very complicated because to follow a chart in the established manner, the wrong side row is knit left to right, doing a pattern stitch the opposite of what it would be in the right side row. Knitting in the round simplifies things a bit, but lace shawls, for example, are knit flat.
If you study a chart of knitting symbols, you will see a symbol described as: On right side K2tog, and wrong side, SSK, for example.
