ABSTRACT
A shared baseline vocabulary is co-designed and co-produced, which also offers the space needed to enhance mutual understanding and learning. The baseline vocabulary consists of entries and their baseline definition. When a baseline definition is based on existing definitions of the word, the necessary references are included. In inter-and transdisciplinary communication settings, the jargon of the different disciplines and professions are an important source of ambiguity. Change agents are actors who catalyse a transformative process within society. Often these individuals or organisations facilitate processes of co-producing knowledge and mediate between the many fields of interests and hierarchies. In successful collaboration the processes and methods for participating as well as the quality and degree of the participation result in in-depth contributions from both practice and research. In the framework for analysis, “competence” refers specifically to those skills that allow the facilitation of the process of inter-and transdisciplinary knowledge generation.
