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.
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 of 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.
Guidelines
Before you start to make your contributions, please read and follow the guidelines carefully: Help:Clarification Activity
Contextual objectives
Your contribution needs to be properly embedded within the conceptual network of glossaLAB; therefore, it is important to be aware of what is already there and to establish connections with other conceptual clarifications. Concepts never stand alone; one can say that they cooperate with others to make the mapping of reality we are trying to understand, describe, and face. So, you'll have to look around what has already been stated to see how it fits. This fitting together is one of the very purposes of the activity itself, and, by the by, this is the very way in which the parts of a system of any kind ever come together to build up the system.
