1+MG Glossary - version for 1+MG Framework

The 1+MG Glossary aims to provide explanations on the use and specific meaning of data protection, ethics and technical terms relevant to the 1+MG Project. This glossary uses plain language to enable users with different backgrounds to understand these terms. For terms that are defined in the General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 (GDPR), for example ‘personal data’, ‘controller’, and ‘processing’, the definition in Article 4 GDPR will be legally binding.

Explanations of terms based on the GDPR are highlighted in blue, to distinguish them from non-legal (i.e., scientific, technical or ethical terms. This document draws largely on previous efforts and existing definitions (see references).
