Project Glossary

This is the Glossary v1 for the Land Use Transformations project (C3-JHI-1). The first version of the document was an output of the start-up process for the project, a series of project-level workshops building on off-line data collation tasks. The objective of the start-up process was to kick-start interdisciplinary working since the Project has ambitions to exploit closer integration, then team building, familiarisation with others’ work and shared terminology is essential. It has been long recognised that a shared language is key part of interdisciplinary team building so creating a glossary was undertaken. A list of key terms (and acronyms) was generated from reviewing the project description and related documents, and definitions derived for the most significant, with the intent that the others will be completed over time and new terms added as they become significant. The intent is thus that the Glossary is a living document that will evolve over time with different versions serving to highlight how terminology and understandings has evolved over the course of the Project.
