This taxonomy captures three different aspects. For each of these three aspects, we clarify common terminology by denoting domain-specific terms and users. Where applicable, we also define dedicated technical terms as well as tools that can be used on that level including further approaches such as (modelling) languages:

• Distributed Computing including Cloud Computing and Services
• Business Process Management and Business IT Alignment
• Software Development and Operation
• Legal topics and Security
• Data Aspects
• CloudSocket (aka BPaaS)

An ordered list of all terms defined here with a brief description of the term, a link to the respective page, and its category is available in the Glossary.
