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.
