work has to be limited, in order to avoid boundless growth,
to some of the main terms of the nongeodetic applications,
e.g. geology, forestry etc.
In order to split the work within a Language Group (LG)
for the purpose of revision by specialists (Advisors), the
(problematic) experiment had to be made of separating the
whole field into some 30 Subfields, e.g. Photography, Car
tography, Topography, etc. ( Annex 3 ) which can also
be used as preliminary "Domain" in the Cross References.
Separate language volumes
For each language to be included in the Dictionary, now
and in the future, one separate Glossary (part 1) will be
produced. An unlimited extension to all languages needed
or even dialects can be guaranteed. In addition to this,
a special Reference Booklet (part 2) has to be created
which will contain only the Reference Indices sorted se-
quentially according to the relevant Language.
The great value of each Language Volume does not consist
solely in its suitabilityv.as a tool for translation, it
also represents a standard linguistic source for the Lan-
guage Region's own professional purposes.
Entry-lines with indices
For each Entry having been defined as Term or for its
Synonyms at least one line will be stored and printed in
alphabethical order, containing:
= Entry
- Gender (abbr.)
- Distinction for Homonyms
- Notes (e.g. 2nd gender, obsolete)
- Source Code
— Reference Index
- Subfield Number
For some purposes it may be useful to print Entry-Lists
containing these lines only.
Term-paragraphs with definitions
Each Term-paragraph begins with "x" and ends with "." in
the first column. It is headed by its Entry-line. In addi-
tion it contains:
- Further source codes
Five Cross References (maximally): better: also:, see:,
compare:, subfield:

(Equivalents known preliminarily (finally cancelled))
(Reference Indices for all existing Equivalents of the
Languages included (finally cancelled))
Reference Indices in steps of 10
After all Entries stored at a certain time have been sor-
ted in alphabetical order, each is assigned a sequential
number, which is called Reference-Index with a O (zero)
