Project Details:
Revision of the IUPAC Compendium of Chemical Terminology (the gold book)
| Project No.: | 2001-062-2-027 |
| Start date: | 2003-01-01 |
| End date: | 2010-12-31 |
| Division: | Interdivisional Committee on Terminology, Nomenclature and Symbols |
Starting from the Second Edition of the IUPAC Compendium of Chemical Terminology, to add definitions of new terms or, as appropriate, to include modified definitions of existing terms, in the light of authoritative IUPAC and ISO publications issued since 1997.
All relevant ISO and IUPAC publications, notably those emanating from IUPAC Nomenclature Commissions, will systematically be scrutinized for (i) definitions of additional terms and (ii) revised definitions of existing terms, sufficiently important to warrant inclusion in the Compendium.
In summary, in consultation with members of the Task Group, the currently-available version of the Compendium, published in 1997 (encompassing material published up the end of 1995 or a little after), will be brought up-to-date, thus incorporating a further 8 years' output, if it becomes available late in 2003. Thereafter, the Gold Book could be updated continually on the Web, as new IUPAC terminology documents are completed.
