<div>Hi,</div>

</div>
<div>Just to let you know, the glossary pull request was accepted
into GDAL [1], and can be seen in the docs at <a

moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext">https://gdal.org/en/latest/glossary.html</a> (credits
at the bottom of the page). This will continue to grow over the
next few months. </div>
<div>Thanks all for the suggestions and links,</div>

<div>Good question re license, and one I don't have a perfect
answer for.</div>
<div>I can state with confidence that the intent during the
development of this glossary has been to share the glossary
under an open license, selecting CC-By as the most
appropriate license. (I'd suggest using the latest,
CC-By-4.0) <a

<div>Glossary terms have been sourced from many sources, many
people, many organizations, often without a clear license
definition in the source, and then improved by multiple
people.</div>
<div>For legal reference, we were working within the framework
of The Good Docs Project, which makes use of 0BSD and CC-By,
per: <a

<div>Thanks Cameron. From the notes it looks like activity
around this has moved to a Slack channel and away from
the mailing list?</div>
<div>Also is there a licence for the terms at <a

with an acknowledgement at the bottom of the page?</div>

<div>Hi Seth,</div>
<div>Movement on the OSGeo Glossary terms has lapsed.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>You can pick up the prior list of terms from this

<div>It is also worth noting that AI tools like

reasonably decent Glossary from source content.</div>

<div>Hi all,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'm looking at the feasibility of setting up a
glossary for the GDAL documentation (using
Sphinx). I was wondering if anything came out of
previous discussions in regard to a common/open
list of terms and definitions relating to GIS?</div>
<div>It would be great if there was a common
starting point that could be used.</div>
