              Blockchain  Public Key           It is an alias associated with a private key generated by a cryptographic function. Normally
                                               the public key is finally converted into an Address by means of a hash function. The public
                                               key reliably identifies the party that has made the transaction, respecting the privacy of their
                                               encrypted data.

              Blockchain  Swap                 Unlike fork, in the case of the swap, a new currency must be created from scratch. It is done
                                               when important measures have to be implemented that have no place in a simple update of the
                                               code (as in the case of NEO or EOS, by changing the tokens generated on Ethereum by Altcoins
                                               issued on the propriety blockchain of each project).
              Blockchain  Token                Unlike Altcoin, it is a cryptocurrency built on an existing blockchain (e.g. Ethereum).

              Smart City  API                  “Application programming interface”. It is a set of definitions, protocols and tools that allows
                                               different software and hardware to integrate with one another
              Smart City  Big data             Big data refers to the collection of data sets that are so large and complex that it is difficult
                                               to capture, transfer, store, process and interpret with traditional data processing applications.
                                               It allows for rich information to be derived on a range of variables such as real-time traffic
                                               conditions, air pollution and energy use.
