necessary) to take step b for all Definitions. 
.2 Technical assistance 
In spite of a tight budget the President of 
IfAG (publisher of the German Dictionary) has 
shown his goodwill to help those LGs (upon 
request) which have problems in printing and 
bookbinding their Glossaries, also in non- 
latin script, if the original data to be 
printed can be delivered. 
.3 Financial assistance 
If a LG signalises that the collection of 
original data is completed but funds for 
publication are missing, the President of 
Commission VI together with WG VI-3 should try 
to mobilize a considerable subsidy from ISPRS 
in order to promote this task very important 
for the society's reputation. 
3. BASIC CONCEPT OF ISPRS DICTIONARY 
Since 1982 (Lindig, 1982) 10 Fundamental 
Principles were the guidelines for the work at 
the ISPRS-Dictionary. They remained unchanged 
as to the basic ideas in spite of some 
updatings due to current experiences. But 
besides this fact the WG is so flexible to 
accept all individually styled Glossaries and 
terminological publications as (preliminary) 
part of the ISPRS-Dictionary (Par. 3.2) if 
they fulfill at least the Minimum-Conditions 
(Par. 3.5) to be equipped with Index-Nurbers 
(preferably in steps of 10. 
Nevertheless, the WG would appreciate it if 
the following up-to-date guidelines were 
largely fulfilled. 
3.1 Entire technical field 
On the one hand, all terms used in theory and 
practice of the whole field of Photogrammetry 
and Remote Sensing including its geodetic 
applications, e.g. cadastre, architecture, 
etc. with relevant surveying of ground control 
must be included. On the other hand, the range 
of work has to be limited, in order to avoid 
boundless growth, to some of the main terms of 
nongeodetic applications, e.g. geology, etc. 
In order to split the work within a LG for the 
purpose of contributions and revisions by 
87 
specialised Advisors, the whole field should 
be separated into some subfields, e.g. 
Photography, Cartography, Topography, etc. 
which can appear in the final edition as 
"Domains" in the Cross-References for easier 
use of the Dictionary and structuration for 
computer-search via simple SF-Numers to 
remain detectable in the Entry-Lists (Par. 
3.3). (Annex 1) 
3.2 Separate language volumes 
For each language to be ‘included in the 
ISPRS-Dictionary, now and in the future, one 
separate Glossary inclusively its Entry-List 
(Part 1) should be produced. An unlimited 
extension to all languages needed or even 
dialects can be guaranteed by this method. 
In addition to this, a special Reference Book- 
let (Part 2) has to be created which will 
contain only the Index-Numbers (Par. 3.5) 
sorted sequentially according to the 
alphabetic order of the relevant language. But 
each published Dictionary can serve as a 
preliminary language volume of the ISPRS- 
Dictionary. 
3.3 Entry-lines with Index-Nurbers as a base 
for Entry-List 
For each Entry having been defined as Term or 
its synonyms will be stored in alphabetical 
order, containing at least according to 
relevant grammar: 
- entry 
- Gender or Type 
- Distinction for Homonyms 
- Notes (e.g. 2nd gender, Language Region, 
Origin, obsolete, historical) 
- Index-Number (par. 3.5) 
Optionally can be added in the production 
phase 
- Source Code(s) 
- Subject Field Number 
These Entry-lines printed alone furnish the 
components for the very important Entry-List 
serving as indispensable list of contents for 
entering the Glossary. 
3.4 Term-paragraphs with definitions 
Each Term-paragraph begins and ends with " " 
in the first colum for a computer-usable 
structure. It is headed by its 
- Entry-line (Par. 3.3) followed by 
-International Archives of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing. Vol. XXXI, Part B6. Vienna 1996
