Abstract
Every domain usually has its own terminology, which often differs from the ordinary understanding of concepts and terms. This chapter presents the terminology for information systems and their management, as used in this book. It is, therefore, essential to read this chapter carefully. All relevant concepts can also be found in the Thesaurus at the end of the book.
