Glossary
In this glossary, you will find a set of terms we have defined and reused extensively in our white papers. We have tried to use as few terms as possible. When several terms relate to the same concept, we define only one term and add the others as synonyms.
- Legal Entity
Has a legal existence and is not a Person. A Legal Entity is not an Organization Unit. Legal Entities can be linked through "stock participations".
Example: corporation, administration, financial institution, association, a governmental Organization, or a research center.
- Location
Geographical Space used to define different levels of territories: country, town, district, campus, building, offices... A Location may have a Postal Address.
Most of the concepts developped on this website are further developped in our white papers. You can download any white paper freely. Please do not re-use without explicit permission.
