[Lexicon] Buzz in writing community about GeoLexicon

[Reese Plews (ISO/TC211 - TMG)]

hello Nikos, very nice to hear from you. i recall the information you 
mentioned during one of our telecons. first off, the assembling of the 
acronyms and abbreviated terms is very important. thank you for your 
dedication over the years to manage and promote such an extensive list.

acronyms and abbreviated terms are an important part of the overall 
terminology picture and we are very happy that you have allowed us to 
access these terms.

please remember the https://osgeodev.geolexica.org site is at this time, 
very much a development site to show some proof of concept ideas only.

in TC211 we collect these terms in our core repository but there is not 
so much management that takes place. what we discussed in the telecon 
was to add some type of criteria or categorization to them that would 
enhance and clarify that content. however that has not moved along so 
much at this time. another member from the group, Erik, has added some 
feedback. please feel free to add your comments to the current 
discussion document on the google site regarding the issues of types and 
categories as you have been working with this list for so long.

i look forward to your continued involvement with the lexicon group.
