Message-ID: <00282fb3-db42-43b8-a73f-75531fdc8c01@app.fastmail.com>

Hi all,

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?
It would be great if there was a common starting point that could be used. 

Seth

Hi Seth,
Movement on the OSGeo Glossary terms has lapsed.

You can pick up the prior list of terms from this Google Directory
<https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1v5ir_VrR71RFxR8ipf9xmpIIH8muEvEK>,
and in particular, the "Useful stuff" summarized at the top of our old meeting
notes
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1yzncnQB7uYktPnAQ4DqZYVPDdYnqDrWmqHzcpXrjkPg/edit?tab=t.0#heading=h.2fmsyrn3jw6h>
.
It is also worth noting that AI tools like ChatGPT are now very effective
at creating a reasonably decent Glossary from source content.

Good luck,
I'll be interested to hear how you go.

Great to see some interest in this Seth, and thanks for the links and 
background Cameron.

This was my attempt at R / GIS glossary, 
https://github.com/nickbearman/intro-r-spatial-analysis/blob/main/glossary.tex, 
PDF at 
https://github.com/nickbearman/intro-r-spatial-analysis/releases/download/v10/glossary.pdf.

If you are picking this up I'll be interested to see how you get on.

Best wishes,
Nick.
