This lexicon was first drafted as material for the first Digital Rights for All workshop called ‘Talking Digital’. We struggled back then to find one document with different levels of definitions for tech jargon. Most notions in this lexicon were part of our first workshop activity called ‘Days of our lives’. During this exercise, the participants were to match notions such as Algorithm, interoperability, big tech etc. to a situation described in the text, as we followed one person going through their day. 

This revised lexicon has a similar ambition, having one document where definitions of often used tech vocabulary can easily be found and highlighted through their social justice lens. Therefore,
the lexicon offers multiple interpretations for these definitions. It is meant to propose different approaches to the concepts and invite the reader to use the one best suited to their unique context.
