navigate

through, and are often packaged as a PDF document so they can easily be sent from one user to
another.

OER

OER are teaching, learning, and research resources that reside in the public domain or have been
released

under an intellectual property license that permits their free use and re-purposing by others. Open
educational

resources include full courses, course materials, modules, textbooks, streaming videos, tests,
software, and

any other tools, materials, or techniques used to support access to knowledge. Digitized materials
offered

freely and openly for educators, students, and self-learners to use and reuse for teaching,
learning, and

zresearch. OER includes learning content, software tools to develop, use, and distribute content,
and

implementation resources such as open licenses.

Data quality & Data administration

Data quality indicates how reliable a given dataset is. The data’s quality will affect the user’s
ability to

make accurate decisions regarding the subject of their study. For example, if the data is collected
from

incongruous sources at varying times, it may not actually function as a good indicator for
planning and

decision-making. High-quality data is collected and analyzed using a strict set of guidelines that
ensure

consistency and accuracy.

Data administration is the process by which data is monitored, maintained and managed by a
data

administrator or an organization. Data administration allows an organization to control its data

assets,

as well as their processing and interactions with different applications and business processes.
Data

administration ensures that the entire life cycle of data use and processing is on par with the

enterprise’s objective.

Domotics (Home Automation)

electrotechnics and electronics that makes a home become "smart". It's the tool that allows us to
control

systems, devices and automations with the aim of increasing the living and comfort quality of the

domestic space, but not only. A building starts to develop its "own intelligence", characterized,
not by

the amount of high technology it contains, but by the way the technology integration is projected
and

by how these technologies are able to satisfy the constantly evolving individual’s needs.

Smart Vehicles

A smart and safer car senses and interacts directly with other vehicles and with the environment
to improve

occupant safety and convenience. The proliferation and evolution of active safety features are
leading us

down the path toward autonomous vehicles. Smart cars soon are likely to be talking to each other
and to the
roads. Car-to-car information sharing can alert vehicles miles behind that the cars ahead are
slowing down,

warning drivers and their vehicles. Smart intersections will allow stop signs and traffic lights to
communicate

with vehicles, as sensors report if another vehicle is running a red light or encourage safe
sequencing in

merging vehicles.

IoT (Internet of Things)

The internet of things, or IoT, is a system of interrelated computing devices, mechanical and
digital

machines, objects, animals or people that are provided with unique identifiers (UIDs) and the
ability to

transfer data over a network without requiring human-to-human or human-to-computer

interaction. Any

physical object can be transformed into an IoT device if it can be connected to the internet to be
controlled or communicate information.
