The AIMS Glossary is set-up for AIMS users coming from less technical or other working areas than pure Information Management (IM). Its objective is to shortly define in plain English 'technical' terms much used in IM and to collect resources that explain these terms more extensively without becoming too technical.

Looking for terms and resources

We are creating new glossary terms twice a month and are always in search of new ones and even more looking for good resources that describe these terms in a clear way. We could use your help with this. Please let us know which IM terms you think should be included in the Glossary, and above all if you know of some good resources. You can send them to [email protected]



The AIMS glossary is accessible at http://aims.fao.org/glossary and halfway down the AIMS homepage through the “What is?” section. The term displayed on home is always the latest one that was uploaded.
