Attention: test state

This glossary is a growing collection of the abbreviations, acronyms and further terms requiring explanation which are used in the CoLabCollaboration Laboratory Wiki. Everybody is invited to use and extend this list. Listing an abbreviation or acronym here will automatically provide every page of this Wiki with the definition of the term. As a result, you can mouse over an abbreviation or acronym on any page in this wiki and a tooltip with the definition will be shown.

Please note that the "longer term" needs to be listed above the "shorter term" in order to get the right definition displayed (a workaround for the fact that these terms will not be a [prefix code]). Example: 

;APIApplication Programming Interface
;APSAmerican Physical Society
;APApplication Profile

instead of 

;APApplication Profile
;APIApplication Programming Interface
;APSAmerican Physical Society


Please note that this glossary feature is still in a test state (see: CoLab Plug-in Test). If you discover problems with the functionality, please express your findings at the CoLab Plug-in page.
