Concept clarification activity
This clarification activity is attached to the teaching or scientific context indicated in the infobox. The goal is contributing to the conceptual clarification to which glossaLAB is devoted to, namely the understanding of information and systems from multiple perspectives, and at the same time contributing to the contextual objectives referred below. In any case, the purpose is enriching the conceptual network by clarifyng the meaning of concepts in the interplay with the understanting of other concepts.
Methodology: The activity starts reading the list of articles proposed, though the search tool may help you to find other concepts of interest. In a second step, the list of proposed voices (terms) provides an offer of concepts to be clarified. The list indicates whether the voice is free (because is either empty or needs some improvement), is already under edition (in which case somebody is working on it and eventually you could organise with them to work together), or is already under review (in which case it is in the hands of the activity coordinator).

Contextual objectives
As indicated in the lectures, one should consider as the following contents were already in glossaLAB (since they are programmatically its core content):
International Encyclopedia of Systems and Cybernetics. Its contents can be consulted here before they are available on glossaLAB (Cite as: François (dir.) (2003) [Article title]. International Encyclopedia of Systems and Cybernetics–glossaLAB). glossariumBITri: Interdisciplinary glossary of concepts, metaphors, theories and problems concerning information. Its contents can be consulted here before they are available on glossaLAB (Cite as: Díaz, Salto & Pérez-Montoro (coor.) (2016) [Article title]. glossariumBITri–glossaLAB) You should review them and cite them as they were within glossaLAB (actually they are though not visible for all).
