My dictionary
This page contains a list of words and abbreviations I have been in contact with during my work. Some of them are so common that we almost have forgotten about the real meaning. I, myself, have been in situations that I knew what it all was about but could not be explained in common words what the characters in the abbreviation stands for. like the well know term URI.
Since then I started to write them down

Now the time has come to share with me.

I have created i list that shows (obviously) the abbreviation and its description. In some cases I added a more detailed description and links to even more information

This list will keep growing and growing. so come back to check out for "new" abbreviations
