And, even if there is a "Definitions" section, I'm afraid that many of the definitions (e.g., "transparency", "participation", "collaboration", etc.) will be fuzzy and ambiguous. If so, then it will be terribly ironic that the Directive that is all ABOUT "transparency" (i.e., clarity) is, itself, NOT clear about what it specifically means by "transparency" (and the other related terms). I pointed out the importance of "Terminology" during the Open Government Dialogue, but it's not a sexy topic, so it did not get many votes.
