THE GLOSSARY OF TERMS OF RECORDS, KNOWLEDGE AND MEMORY (RK&M) PRESERVATION
The glossary of terms of records, knowledge and memory (RK&M) preservation
When reading this report and other outcomes of the RK&M initiative, readers are advised to make use of the dedicated glossary of terms of RK&M preservation (hereafter “RK&M glossary”). It is included in Annex 1.
The RK&M glossary defines key terms and concepts used in the RK&M initiative and as such, provides useful guidance on terminology in the area of long-term RK&M preservation for radioactive waste disposal. The terms and concepts in the glossary do not uniquely pertain to the RK&M preservation topic. They are also used in other contexts and international texts, where their meaning may differ. The RK&M glossary definitions thus do not necessarily reflect the most common understanding or use of the terms, but aim at stipulating the respective terms within the RK&M preservation context.
