PROBLEMS OF TERMINOLOGY IMPROVEMENT IN METROLOGY

Roald Taymanov, Ksenia Sapozhnikova
Abstract:
The paper is devoted to some problems related to the development of an international vocabulary of terms in metrology. Using terms from Section 3 of VIM, it is shown that in many cases, on one hand, the same terms are interpreted in a different way; but on the other hand, different terms are used to express the same ideas. The origins of ambiguity are analyzed. Proposals which could contribute to softening the problems of terminology development are given.
