Terminology

Hi all,

Last year I started an effort designed to capture various terms, and  
list the different definitions and sources. After a few hours and a  
little effort I ended up with the following...

<http://plan.net.nz/wiki/index.php/Category:Terms>

This was focused primarily on New Zealand terms, although I did  
include a couple of international sources at the time. This included  
legislative definitions in New Zealand that I obtained from the  
relevant acts.

<http://plan.net.nz/wiki/index.php/Category:Legislation>

Is this the sort of direction we are wanting to head down in this  
project to identify, for example, different definitions of 'disaster'?

Note, I don't necessarily think we could or would want to build a  
global glossary as there are too many definitions out there to manage.

Perhaps the biggest point to note is that many of the terms  
definitions are not really standalone, but they are part of the  
context of the document/legislative instrument within which they are  
used.

Cheers Gavin
