Glossaries on the one hand provide a good possibility for laities to read up on technical terms. On the other they are suitable for the communication within scientific workgroups and projects. They prevent from misunderstandings caused by different definitions of terms, especially in international and interdisciplinary cooperation.
 

Here you found linked glossaries of the RIMAX subject area. RIMAX is not fixed on one special glossary, because the projects, subject areas and involed institutions within the RIMAX research programme are very manifold. The linked glossaries should be a courtesy within the projects communication and for the cross-project cooperation. This list is not exhaustive. Feel free to suggest other glossaries relevant to RIMAX.
