Re: glossary

Dear Jaroslav, thank you for this.

I am sorry I did not participate in the discussion, as I was at a
conference.

One observation:
We have.

User Metonymic use for "target end-user".
but we do not have "target end-user" or "end-user", so we do not really
know what a user is. I guess an end.user is some human actor performing
activities with an interactive system and a target end-user is the intended
type of end-users for which the system is develped.
