GlossaLAB Workshop 2022/Elucidation

A fundamental factor of transdisciplinarity is creating an understanding of the key concepts we are using throughout the boundaries of the disciplines at stake, for which glossaLAB is specifically devoted. We can simply use the common word "system", "network", "interdisciplinarity"... and believe everybody is understanding, or we can leave it clear to overcome misunderstandings.

The elucidation activity will be specially monitored and guided between April. 23rd and Jun. 15th, though it will remain open for further editing afterwards.

Creating a user

The first simply step to do is creating a user, identified by your full name and providing a brief research profile of yourself (condensed in a paragraph). Since we will measure the diversity and integration of disciplines when your user has been created, you should go to your user page (e.g. User:Modestos Stavrakis) and select -at the bottom of the edition page- the categories corresponding to the knowledge domains of your expertise (the set of categories organised in 9 trunks contain more than 60 which are derived from the Universal Decimal Classification of disciplines).

Making contributions

Right after you can just go to start clarifying what you understand by the key concepts you use. Check first whether the term is already open.

If it is, review the content and see if some of the given understandings fit yours (feel free to improve it if you think you can) and add yourself to the list of supporters of such understanding.
If the term is not open, you can create a new article using the link ‘Create a new page’ on the left menu, identifying right after the voice the name of the congress between brackets, e.g., diversity index (gLw).

Suppose you are clarifying 'concept' and your user name is Anne Smith, this is the way you should code your contribution within the page 'Concept':

'''Concept''' can be understood as ... <br>
Supporters of this understanding: [[User:Anne Smith]]

If you wish clarifyng some of the following concepts you can just click on any of the links and start editing, otherwise, you can open a new page as referred above. In order to distinguish from other articles with the same voice don't forget to add (gLw, which stands for this workshop):
