‚3 German: DLG started work in 1982 with 25 members (Advi-
sors) who had 4500 Entries at their disposal. Meanwhile,
these have been revised and reduced to about 4000 items
ready to be distributed upon request. By the end of 1987,
the German Glossary has been completely entered in compu-
ter, files including the. final Definitions. and preliminary
Equivalents in English (100.3%) and French {75 3). DLC is
now waiting for the relevant Glossaries. Lists can be
mailed upon request.
.4 English: ELG confirmed the beginning of work in May 1986
with six members having at their disposal an unknown
amount of Entries by Nov. 1987. The activities of the LC
were heavily delayed due to the fact that the 1983 Chief
Editor, Dr. Walker, had been replaced by Mr. Chisholm in
1984. A proposed meeting of the three CAT II-LGs to be
held in 1987 with a view to settle the problems occured
by then and probably to speed up work was refused by the
ELG. It must be emphasized that our work depends to a
large extent on the. progress in this Guide Language. At
least a preliminary Entry-List (though still without de-
finitions) with final Reference-Indices should be publi-
shed as soon as possible in order to enable other LGs to
continue their work.
.5 French: FLG confirmed the beginning of work in 1985 with
seven members having recourse to 3000 Entries by Sep.1987.
France has been in the exceptionally good position of
being provided with a governmental Office for Terminology
for many years, which fact enabled the printed publicatia
of a French Dictionary of Remote Sensing in 1984.
In 1986 a member of the FLG participating in the Badagry
Symposium proposed that the meeting of the CAT II-LGs be
held in 1987. At that time, the FLG reported that they
had finished the collection of Definitions up to the let-
ter N. In a paper to be presented at Kyoto in 1988
S. Paul proposes to declare French also a Guide Language.
There are no objections.
.6 Greek: GLG reported no activities up to the present.
.7 Hindi: HiLG confirmed the beginning of work before 1985,
with two members having elaborated 500 Definitions by
June 1985. Beyond that, no further information has been
received.
.8 Japanese: JLG confirmed only its participation in WG VI-3
as. of March 1984, without any. further notice.
.9 Portuguese: PtLG applied in 1983 for membership in WG VI-3
in à letter mailed to the chairman mentioning the exis-
tence of a Glossary on Photogrammetry and Cartography. No
further activities have in the meantime been reported.
.10 Russian: RLG confirmed the beginning of work in 1984 with
eight members and worked out 200 Entries with Definitions
by July 1985, without any further notice: since then.
