2. Editorial scientific-technical work for the German part of

• volume 1 „Theory of errors, adjustment methods and mathematical statistics"
  (863 entries)
  was resumed because of some new development in standardisation in this field.

Revision work has still to be done for

• volume 2 „Geodesy"
• volume 8 „Cartography".

For these volumes competent German editors could be found. 75% of volume 2 has already been revised. When the work will be completed is not quite sure. Revision work on volume 8 will start in May/June 2001.

For

• volume 7 „Photogrammetry"

the verification of the French equivalent terms is completed. Half of the English equivalents has already been checked.

Verification of the French equivalent terms still continues for

• volume 1 „Theory of errors, adjustment methods and mathematical statistics".

For the English part it is completed, with some minor changes to be expected after the German revision with regard to standardisation.

Volume 17 "General Terms" will be sent to press at the beginning of April 2001.

3. The working group at BKG is supported by FIG and its member associations. The Association Franç aise de Topographie continues to co-ordinate the verification of French equivalent terms – work in which the Schweizerischer Verein für Vermessung und Kulturtechnik is also involved. The Multilingual Dictionary Board likes to thank all FIG member associations for the support given so far in completing the FIG Multilingual Dictionary.

4. In general, some progress is being made; but the work needs further support from FIG and its member associations, especially in verifying foreign language equivalent terms proposed by the BKG (when the revision work for the still outstanding volumes is completed in German), and in promoting volumes of the dictionary to surveying associations.

5. The aim of the BKG working group remains to complete revision and publication of the remaining volumes of the dictionary as soon as possible, with the continuing support of all involved in this work.
