Glossary term	References
Learning Analytic Learning analytics is the measurement, collection, analysis and reporting of data about learners and their contexts, for purposes of understanding and optimising learning and the environments in which it occurs	S. G and P., L., “Penetrating the Fog: Analytics in Learning and Education”, EDUCAUSE Review, vol. 46, no. 5, 2011.
Legacy system is an old method, technology, computer system, or application program that continues to be used, typically because it still functions for the users' needs, even though newer technology or more efficient methods of performing a task are now available. A legacy system may include procedures or terminology which are no longer relevant in the current context, and may hinder or confuse understanding of the methods or technologies used	“Deliverable 2.1”. 2014.
Linked Open Data cloud According to “data.europeana.eu”, part of Europeana project, Linked Open Data is a way of publishing structured data that allows metadata to be connected and enriched, so that different representations of the same content can be found, and links made between related resources. Using a “cloud” platform it is possible to make the metadata available on the web using online services of data sharing and data retrieving.	“data.europeana.eu ”. 2014.

Long Term In the context of virtual museums, “long-term” is not defined as a specific period of time. Also in the context of Digital Preservation, it is not strictly defined: in (Verheuil 2006: 20) it means "five years or more", in (Research Councils UK 2008:6) "Data should normally be preserved and accessible for not less than 10 years for any projects, and for projects of clinical or major social, environmental or heritage importance, the data should be retained for up to 20 years, and preferably permanently within a national collection, or as required by the funder's data policy." More generally in (CCSDS 2002: 1-11) "a period of time long enough for there to be concern about the impacts of changing technologies, including support for new media and data formats, and of a changing user community, on the information being held in a repository. This period extends into the indefinite future."	“Reference Model for an Open Archival Information System (OAIS)”, Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems, Washington DC, 650.0-B-1, 2002.

Low sensory involvement a system communicating the content by means of low embodiment grade with the system or the environment like a descriptive application.	“Deliverable 2.1”. 2014.
