Taxonomy

Abstract. This collection of definitions and examples tries to contribute to the understanding of the essence of information technology and computer science.

We propose a consistent set of notions and a consistent terminology which may clarify the relation of information technology and computer science to other scientific disciplines.

Information technologists as well as teachers and students of computer science may find the concepts helpful to disentangle many complex achievements of computer science and re-use their constituents in other contexts, and to view their own activities in the light of other disciplines.
