i have finished updating what i thought were the terms in the<br>
spreadsheet you made available in google docs earlier this month.<br><br>
i have made a copy (you can see at the bottom of the sheet - rplews_mods)<br><br>
this brings in the terminology entries that we have in ISO which<br>
closely or identically matches those terms identified from the main<br>
sheet<br><br>
a lot of the entries are abbreviations and some type of category<br>
should be added to those. is it is an organization, etc. a number of<br>
the entries were software specific, relating to a software platform or<br>
data format.<br><br>
Cameron has created a glossary page on the OSGEO Live trac site. i<br>
have not had time yet to place some items there but want to use it to<br>
document some of the earlier email discussions. Ron's proposal ideas<br>
for how OSGEO could have a terminology management group and comments<br>
by Bruce Bannerman and others in earlier emails should be added to the<br>
trac page.<br><br>
i hope this is helpful to show some of the entries. happy to discuss anything.<br><br>
