32. By core content we mean content that is essential for the functionality of the system. Core content is quite common in adaptive hypermedia systems. For example, presenting a concept in a canonical way is part of the core content. Removal of a core content fragment may break some functionality of the system. In contrast, multiple problems related to a concept are non-core content. The availability of many problems makes a system richer; however, any problem can be removed from the system without affecting its core functionality.

34. False friends are pairs of words in two languages that look or sound similar but differ in meaning. For instance, the word ‘stipendium’ means ‘grant’ in German, while ‘stipendio’ means ‘salary’ in Italian.
