about the difficulty of terminology especially 
caused by the three official languages of ISP 
and finally closed the session.

Session 2 of Commission VI 
Topic: Terminology and Organization of 
Production in Photogrammetry 
Chairman:  Dr.Z. Sitek (Poland) 
Invited Paper 
Author: Dr. J. Pietschner (G.D.R.) 
Title: Zur Problematik einer einheitlichen 
Symbolik in der Photogrammetrie 
WGR V/03 
The first part of this session was devoted to a 
discussion on terminology. J. Pietschner pre- 
sented a list of symbols which had been com- 
piled by Working Group VI/3 and proposed that 
it De used as a basis for an international glossary 
to be compiled by the I.S.P. 
Panel Discussion 
Topic: ISP Symbols and Terminology for 
Photogrammetry 
Moderator: Dr. R. Wolf (U.S.A.) 
Panelists: — Mr. P. Baetsle (Belgium) 
Dr. R. Burckhardt (F.R.G.) 
Dr. J. Petras (Czechoslovakia) 
Dr. J. Pietschner (G.D.R.) 
Dr. Wolf pointed out in his introductory remark 
that the work on terminology should be going on. 
He suggested that all national members send 
their comments on the present proposal to the 
new President of Commission VI to be forwarded 
to the chairman of the WG. 
Dr. Burckhardt said that change in terminology 
on international level will take time. A revision of 
a terminology is a difficult task, but it can be 
made using the available literature. In Germany 
this is done about once in ten years. Mr. Baetsle 
was of the opinion that the work should be con- 
tinued; the terminology should be standardized 
So that terms in different languages should cor- 
respond with each other. There is the same 
necessity in the field of symbols. 
Dr. Petras added that progress had not been fast, 
but the results will be reached in the future. 
In the discussion of the audience, Mr. S. Móller 
(Sweden), Mr. M. Paradis (Canada), Dr. L. Wassil- 
jew (USSR), it was stressed that the German 
grossary was not the only one available. Numer- 
ous other countries, such as Canada, France, 
Poland, U.S.A. and U.S.S.R., had their own elabo- 
rations. The point made was to stop a rather 
lengthy and unfruitful discussion and to prepare 
a trilingual glossary on the basis of the German 
glossary, for example. It was observed that this 
work would have to be completed by the end of 
1976, in order to be able to prepare a further 
version by 1978, which would include suggestions 
based on national standards and on recent re- 
search. Following this timetable would make it 
possible to present a final version of the 1.S.P. 
glossary of terms and symbols at the XIV Inter- 
national Congress of the I.S.P. It was noted that 
keeping to the proposed timetable would quite 
122 
understandably set certain limits to the contents 
of the glossary. 
The Board of Commission VI was obliged to 
continue its activities within this field and to 
appoint an editorial committee for the glossary 
to operate under the supervision of Working 
Group VI/3 "Terminology". 
Invited Papers 
Author: Dr. H. Jerie (Netherlands) 
Title: The Establishment of Cost Models 
in Photogrammetry IP VI/11 
Author: Dr. S. Ghosh (U.S.A) 
Title: Economic Aspects in Special (Non- 
Topographical) Applications in Pho- 
togrammetry /P VI/08 
In their respective papers, Dr. Jerie and Dr. Ghosh 
discussed economic problems encountered in 
photogrammetric work. They stressed the need 
for a further research on standards for economic 
analyses of photogrammetric work. 
In the general discussion that followed, in which 
Mr. S. Môller (Sweden), Dr. A. Brandenberger 
(Canada), Dr. E. Hubert (Switzerland) and Dr. H. 
Jerie (Netherlands) took part, it was observed 
that the amount of money spent on photogram- 
metry worldwide each year was quite consider- 
able, and that the I.S.P. should therefore pay 
special attention to the development of such 
standards. 
Wednesday, July 14, 1976, from 15.45 to 17.15 
Session 3 of Commission VI 
Topic: Photogrammetric Periodicals and 
Bibliography 
Chairman: Dr. J. Jachimsky (Poland) 
Invited Paper 
Author: Dr. J. Hothmer (F.R.G.) 
Title: Do Photogrammetric Periodicals 
Have a Future? /P VI/10 
In his paper, Dr. Hothmer proposed that regional 
photogrammetric journals be published jointly 
by professional organizations too small to eco- 
nomically publish their own journals. This would 
involve cooperation between closely related fields, 
such as surveying and cartography. Another al- 
ternative would be to publish regional-interna- 
tional periodicals specialized in photogrammetry. 
Panel Discussion 
Topic: Functions of Professional Periodi- 
cals in the Life of the Photogram- 
metrists and Their Societies — At 
Present and in the Future 
Moderator: Mr. G. C. Tewinkel (U.S.A.) 
Panelists: Mr. K. Atkinson (U.K.) 
Mr. M. Carbonnell (France)

Dr. À. J. van der Weele (Netherlands) 
Mr. Tewinkel opened the discussion by realizing 
that all participants of the panel, in the present 
or in the past, have been editors of photogram- 
metric journals. In the discussion Mr. Atkinson
