No Thumbnail AvailableBook (stand-alone)Technical bookThésaurus multilingue du foncier
Deuxième édition, revue et augmentée
2005En 1999, la FAO publiait la première version française du Thésaurus multilingue du foncier. Cette version avait surtout pour vocation d'être mise à l'épreuve du terrain, c'est-à-dire soumise aux critiques constructives tant des usagers à la recherche d'informations et d'éclairages nouveaux que des experts du foncier. En effet, sur le fond comme sur la forme, sont apparus un certain nombre de points forts mais aussi des lacunes, relevés depuis 1999 par l'équipe des rédacteurs et par de nombreux a utres spécialistes du foncier. Par ailleurs, la discipline "foncier" est en évolution constante et une période de cinq ans peut certainement être considérée comme suffisamment longue pour percevoir des mutations ou des tendances au niveau des bases conceptuelles comme dans les approches. Cela justifie également le projet d'une version ultérieure comme cela annonce aussi le projet d'une troisième version. Plus de quarante nouveaux termes ont de la sorte été ajoutés, comme entrée principale ou com me entrée secondaire. Environ le même nombre de termes ont également été complétés et exemplifiés. Des références à des sites internet où des compléments d'information ou des illustrations peuvent être trouvés sont également incluses. -
