New terms and concepts emerge with overwhelming frequency in the technology world. At APC we present this glossary as a practical way of igniting debate and thinking around these concepts. The APC glossary aims to provide accessible definitions of the terms we use while also giving a political perspective of what they mean and why we use them. It is also a useful resource to share with editors and translators in order to facilitate their job in terms of understanding the political nuances of various terms that APC frequently uses, and other new terms that we are adopting.
