Dictionary of E-Business Francis Botto's Dictionary of E-Business is subtitled "a definitive guide to technology and business terms" a subtitle this accelerated world is, in reality, always going to make a mockery of: whatever is defined can be redefined and nothing degrades meaning more quickly than technology. That withstanding, Botto's dictionary is well presented, clear and timely and it makes a pretty good stab at living up to the promise on its cover.

There are several derivative versions of this dictionary on the Internet, in some cases reformatted or provided with an interface:
