Do I understand correctly that the only way to read this proposal is to _BUY_ it? Is this standard practice in the standards world?

The new standard ISO 14050, Environmental management - Vocabulary, is intended to facilitate a coherent approach to the description of environmental management activities and the use of environmental management terminology, as well as contribute to a common understanding of environmental management terms. it would be great if you could let me know whether you are interested in environmental terminology. there is considerable interest in environmental ontology work and it would be good to know who is working on that issue. thom _______________________________________________ Dr. Thomas Pick Referent f.
