UIS Cave Glossary Project

[Peter Matthews]

Not surveying (sorry), but if you are interested in cave 
glossaries/terminology....

The International Union of Speleology (UIS) has started a project to 
produce an extendable, multi-lingual glossary of cave and karst terms 
that is both human-readable and machine-readable.

The project is being run by the Dictionary Sub-commission of the UIS 
Informatics Commission (UISIC) and aims to create a web- and Linked 
Data-accessible cave and karst glossary of terms that also provides 
definitions linked to the terms in the existing Caver's Multi-lingual 
Dictionary. In the first instance it will start by converting an 
existing comprehensive and professional glossary into a 
term-addressable web page, linked to the terms in the Multi-lingual 
Dictionary. This glossary will also be incorporated into the UIS 
KarstLink Ontology for Linked Data.

Everyone interested is invited to follow or contribute to the project.

Full details of the project can be found on the project's web page and forum:
