Information:  - An academy (Attic Greek: ; Koine Greek ) is an institution of secondary education, higher learning, research, or honorary membership.  - Education is the process of facilitating learning, or the acquisition of knowledge, skills, values, beliefs, and habits. Educational methods include storytelling, discussion, teaching, training, and directed research. Education frequently takes place under the guidance of educators, but learners may also educate themselves. Education can take place in formal or informal settings and any experience that has a formative effect on the way one thinks, feels, or acts may be considered educational. The methodology of teaching is called pedagogy.  - Research comprises "creative work undertaken on a systematic basis in order to increase the stock of knowledge, including knowledge of humans, culture and society, and the use of this stock of knowledge to devise new applications." It is used to establish or confirm facts, reaffirm the results of previous work, solve new or existing problems, support theorems, or develop new theories. A research project may also be an expansion on past work in the field. Research projects can be used to develop further knowledge on a topic, or in the example of a school research project, they can be used to further a student's research prowess to prepare them for future jobs or reports. To test the validity of instruments, procedures, or experiments, research may replicate elements of prior projects or the project as a whole. The primary purposes of basic research (as opposed to applied research) are documentation, discovery, interpretation, or the research and development (R&D) of methods and systems for the advancement of human knowledge. Approaches to research depend on epistemologies, which vary considerably both within and between humanities and sciences. There are several forms of research: scientific, humanities, artistic, economic, social, business, marketing, practitioner research, life, technological,etc.  - A seminar is a form of academic instruction , either at an academic institution or offered by a commercial or professional organization . It has the function of bringing together small groups for recurring meetings , focusing each time on some particular subject , in which everyone present is requested to actively participate . This is often accomplished through an ongoing Socratic dialogue with a seminar leader or instructor , or through a more formal presentation of research . It is essentially a place where assigned readings are discussed , questions can be raised and debates can be conducted . It is relatively informal , at least compared to the lecture system of academic instruction .  - An academic degree is a qualification awarded on successful completion of a course of study in higher education, normally at a college or university. These institutions commonly offer degrees at various levels, typically including bachelor's, masters and doctorates, often alongside other academic certificates, and professional degrees. The most common undergraduate degree is the bachelor's degree, although in some countries lower qualifications are titled degrees (e.g. associate degrees in the US or foundation degrees in the UK) while in others a higher-level first degree is more usual.  - A university ("a whole", "a corporation") is an institution of higher (or tertiary) education and research which grants academic degrees in various subjects.  Universities typically provide undergraduate education and postgraduate education.  - An educational institution is a place where people of different ages gain an education, including preschools, childcare, elementary schools, and universities. They provide a variety of learning environments and learning spaces.  - Academic institution is an educational institution dedicated to education and research, which grants academic degrees. See also academy and university.    Given the information above, choose from the list below the object entity that exhibits the relation 'part of' with the subject 'seminar'.  Choices: - education  - higher education  - marketing  - may  - order  - process  - school  - society  - teaching  - undergraduate education  - university  - variety  - work

Information:  - Mainframe computers (colloquially referred to as "big iron") are computers used primarily by large organizations for critical applications, bulk data processing, such as census, industry and consumer statistics, enterprise resource planning, and transaction processing.  - In computer science, transaction processing is information processing that is divided into individual, indivisible operations called "transactions". Each transaction must succeed or fail as a complete unit; it can never be only partially complete.  - GnuCOBOL ( formerly OpenCOBOL , and for a short time known as GNU Cobol ) is a free implementation of the COBOL programming language . Originally designed by Keisuke Nishida , lead development was taken up by Roger While . Latest developments are now led by Simon Sobisch , Sergey Kashyrin and Ron Norman .  - COBOL (an acronym for "common business-oriented language") is a compiled English-like computer programming language designed for business use. It is imperative, procedural and, since 2002, object-oriented. COBOL is primarily used in business, finance, and administrative systems for companies and governments. COBOL is still widely used in legacy applications deployed on mainframe computers, such as large-scale batch and transaction processing jobs. But due to its declining popularity and the retirement of experienced COBOL programmers, programs are being migrated to new platforms, rewritten in modern languages or replaced with software packages. Most programming in COBOL is now purely to maintain existing applications.  - An acronym is a word or name formed as an abbreviation from the initial components in a phrase or a word, usually individual letters (as in "NATO" or "laser") and sometimes syllables (as in "Benelux").    Given the information above, choose from the list below the object entity that exhibits the relation 'instance of' with the subject 'gnucobol'.  Choices: - abbreviation  - acronym  - census  - computer  - data  - enterprise  - industry  - information  - object  - programming  - programming language  - scale  - science  - software  - statistics  - word
