Terminology: Call for documents





TERMINOLOGY: CALL FOR DOCUMENTS


Have you ever undertaken the unusual job of putting together a
glossary, a word list or a terminology in any forestry subject
field? Did you eventually collect definitions because you needed
the true and complete understanding of technical terms?

Paying increased attention to terminological issues, IUFRO
Subject Group S6.03-00 "Information systems and terminology"
under the leadership of A. Kempf and the IUFRO Secretariat would
like to get more information on terminological activities within
the IUFRO Research Groups and by individual researchers. You may
have established a word list of technical terms in one or more
languages, a small vocabulary for your individual needs. We would
be pleased to know what you felt the urgent need was for
terminological data and where you had to come to grips yourself
with the absence of a competent dictionary or terminology. We ask
you to send us a copy of any word list, vocabulary or terminology
you have put together, including electronic documents. We would
like to collect those important and valuable documents and
announce their existence in a later issue of IUFRO News.

Every contribution, large or small is welcome| We are also
interested in receiving suggestions on subject fields which you
think do not get sufficient attention in glossaries or
terminologies, unilingual or multilingual. Please send your
information to the IUFRO Secretariat in Vienna, adding Attn:
Terminology.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation|



IUFRO Secretariat
