Re: [OSGeoLive] [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.

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 ...
