# 3 MIDAS concepts

This chapter describes basic MIDAS concepts and terminology. The description is done at a rather high level, and is kept rather informal -- the intention is to document what the different terms mean from the user's point of view, and what can be done with them, rather than to give detailed information on their usage. Step-by-step instructions for using the different MIDAS features is available in the next chapter.
