The great Web 3.0 glossary

Meer over het boek

The rapidly expanding fields of Metaverse, Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs), Cryptocurrencies, Blockchain, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Service Robots are filled with an increasing array of terms and jargon. New terms often lack true novelty, and the influx of "crypto-slang" can lead to confusion. This is especially evident in the dialogue between science and practice, where the risk of "Babylonian language confusion" is growing. This work aims to clarify these complexities by offering quick access to key terms. While numerous online resources exist, many are incomplete, imprecise, or contradictory. This glossary serves as a valuable tool for managers, students, and professors navigating these topics in their daily work. It helps students track the myriad terms associated with web 3.0, while educators can rely on it for consistent terminology regarding the Metaverse, NFTs, Cryptocurrencies, and Blockchain. With over 1,300 scientifically-based explanations, the focus is on clarity and ease of understanding. The authors strive to provide concise definitions, an application-oriented perspective, and straightforward language, making this resource accessible for all users.
