As far as I can tell, 'goblet, open centre or vase trained' all express the same concept.

"With the open centre system, the leader is removed, leaving an open centre. Instead of having a central leader, the open centre tree has 3 to 5 major limbs, called scaffolds, coming out from the trunk. This training system allows for adequate light penetration into the tree, which minimizes the shading problem prevalent in highervigor trees such as peach.
