Current Project

Interdivisional Committee on Terminology, Nomenclature and Symbols

 

Number: 2001-062-2-027

Title: Revision of the IUPAC Compendium of Chemical Terminology (the gold book)

Task Group
Chairman
: Aubrey D. Jenkins

Members: Richard Cammack, Jeremy G. Frey, Anders Kallner, G. Jeffrey Leigh, David Moore, Donald Moss, Gerard P. Moss, Monica Nordberg and Yehuda Shevah

Objective:
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.

> access to the online Gold Book

Description:
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.

Progress:
Definitions from the following references have been so far included in the online version of the Gold book:

Terminology for membranes and membrane processes

PAC 1996, 68, 1591 > issue index
