| CMS | Content Management System |
| IPR | Intellectual Property Rights: The right to decide what may be done with artefacts like texts, presentations etc. |
| Repository | A site (or several sites) with the ability to store files and retrieve them in a structured way either by searching or browsing.

| RSS | RSS or Really Simple Syndication is a useful tool for keeping updated on your favorite websites. RSS makes use of an XML code that constantly scans the content of a website for updates and then broadcasts those updates to all subscribers through a feed. RSS feeds are typically used with news sites or blogs, although any website can use them to disseminate information. When an update is sent out, it includes a headline and a small amount of text, either a summary or the lead-in to the larger story. You will need to click a link to read more. |
| Standards compliant | A term often used in describing websites & user agents’ (often web browsers) relative compliance with web standards proposed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). Also used for stressing out that one doesn't use proprietary methods or features. More often than not the use of proprietary code causes problems, because only one or other browser is designed to support it without regard for standards, making it not standards compliant code. |
| Syntax | Rules; the set of allowed reserved words and their parameters and the correct word order in the expression is called the syntax of the programming language. |
| wiki | A type of website that allows anyone visiting the site to add, remove, or otherwise edit all content, very quickly and easily, often without the need for registration. This ease of interaction and operation makes a wiki an effective tool for collaborative writing. The term can also refer to the collaborative software itself (wiki engine) that facilitates the operation of such a website. In essence, a wiki is a simplification of the process of creating HTML pages combined with a system that records each individual change that occurs over time, so that at any time, a page can be reverted to any of its previous states. |
