[DDI-CDG] Some summaries

[Meinhard Moschner]

Dear Mari, dear all,

many thanks for your discussion input. I have added a few comments to 
your first (terms/concepts) paper, emphasizing the central concepts.

Still have to go through the discussion compilation. The items put into 
one row don't necessarily relate to each other - right?

Have a nice weekend
Meinhard
