Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] What terms should go into an OSGeo Glossary?
To keep you in the loop, Both the OGC and ISO/TC211 Glossary teams, who manage glossaries of spatial terms have reached out to us about collaborating around developing an OSGeo glossary. It looks like they have tools which we could make use of. The conversation is unfolding on the OSGeo Standards list. If you are interested, I suggest viewing the email archive and/or subscribing to the list: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/standards On 28/9/19 7:09 am, Cameron Shorter wrote: Thanks everyone.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] What terms should go into an OSGeo Glossary?
Thanks everyone. Felicity and I have received scores responses, both publicly and privately. We've been pointed to a bunch of links to existing material, and received some really good suggestions. Admittedly, I'm feeling a bit like we are drinking out of a fire-hose, as we think about how to process all the feedback, and the level of engagement that OSGeo can sustain. More to come from us in the next few weeks ...

Hi, there is at least still the GRASS Translation Glossary [1] which has quite some general GIS terms in a dozen languages. This might be a good starting point. Although, it does not contain descriptions of the terms. It is rather focused on translation. cheers robert [1] https://grasswiki.osgeo.org/wiki/GRASS_Translation_Glossary Am 26.09.19 um 08:28 schrieb Markus Neteler: > Hi, > > On Thu, Sep 26, 2019 at 1:02 AM Cameron Shorter > wrote: >> >> Hi folks, >> >> Felicity (CCed), one of the Tech Writers partaking in the Google Season >> of Docs, is going to compile a Glossary for us. >> Does anyone know of existing Glossaries that we can start from? > > I did some efforts years ago: > https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/OSGeo_Multilanguage_Dictionary > > It was hosted on the "webextra" server but didn't survive the > infrastructure migration in 2014. > > Dunno if anyone kept a copy... > > Best > Markus > ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.osgeo.org https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss

[OSGeo-Discuss] What terms should go into an OSGeo Glossary?
Hi folks, Felicity (CCed), one of the Tech Writers partaking in the Google Season of Docs, is going to compile a Glossary for us. Does anyone know of existing Glossaries that we can start from? I've found an OGC list of accronyms [0]. This coming week (by 29 September) she will be collating existing material. In the following weeks, she'll be asking us to review and see what extra terms should be added. Beyond that, she will also be working reviewing our Quickstarts, and selecting a writing style guide. (The Google Syle Guide is a likely contender). You can see results of her first pass [1]. If you'd like to contribute, conversations are happening on the OSGeoLive email list [2], or you can email Felicity directly.
