Re: glossary

  Dear colleagues,

   please find attached the current version of the glossary.

  It reflects the discussions in today's call, the input on
  multi-device UIs etc. from Fabio and detailed comments
  provided by Paolo and Joëlle. The Definition of terms "modality",
  and "multi-modality" is yet to be finalized.

  Best regards
   Jaroslav
