Abstract:
Formation of Russian-language terminology in geoinformatics and cartography that started in 1970–1980ies has not yet been completed. Digital transformation generates new words, word combinations and terms. The actual imperfection of terminology is demonstrated by the example of two key definitions in geoinformatics. ‘‘Spatial object’’ refers to two different entities: a realworld object and its digital model (spatial feature). At least two synonyms correspond to ‘‘spatial data’’: ‘‘geodata’’ and ‘‘geospatial data’’. There is a need for another revision of the spatial data’s subject area terminology. It is necessary to normalize and harmonize it for correct use in standards, federal laws, dictionaries, encyclopedias, scientific and technical documentation. The leading role in this process belongs to the Technical committee 394 ‘‘Geographic Information/Geomatics’’ of Rosstandart (Federal Agency on Technical Regulating and Metrology) and other relevant organizations. The consistency of terms and the norms of their definitions is the task of the working group on terminology within this committee. Standards and other documents of technical regulation should become a source of legal acts’ terminology. The task of its normalization and standardization is becoming still more urgent due to the long-term plans for the implementation of the Russian Federation Spatial Data National System.
Investigation was implemented within the framework of the theme under the АААА-А19-119022190168-8 (FMGE-2019-0010) State Assignment of the Institute of Geography of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
