6. Nomenclature
What are “Projects” - Containers for all 6 areas of work Need/landscape etc. can be shared with other users and reported from. Projects are also indexed so others with the instance can search the work already done. 
What is an “Eco-System? ” the ecosystem matches/extracts talent (people) from sources that match to the need. You then use your ecosystem to solve needs or challenges.  you can reuse any ecosystem from different projects.
“Need statements” vs. Needs are topics of interest.
“Challenge postings” Challenge postings are used to solicit responses, which could become a need statement. 
The Inno360 Explorer is a advanced visualization tool for understanding and working with patent and literature data. 
Academic experts - the data we collected from our scholar universe source. It lists all the profile information from scholar universe. 
“Talent lists” a folder containing people or organizations that can help solve/work in your described need or research area. 
“Campaign” - think literally an campaign.

7. Profiling
