Survey on EwaGlos

Multilingual Glossary of Conservation Terms for Wall Painting and
Architectural Surfaces

Questionnaire for international survey on EwaGlos is online

Within two years, a consortium of seven academic
institutions--supported by associated partners and external
experts--developed, within the framework of an EU project, a richly
illustrated multilingual glossary of terms for the
conservation/restoration of wall painting and architectural
surfaces, the so-called EwaGlos.  By the end of October 2015, the
Glossary had been published.

Now the consortium has published an online survey, currently in
seven languages, to gather feedback and comments.  The aim of the
survey is to involve more experts in the discussion on the
definitions of the terms and to jointly develop a second revised
edition of the Glossary.

The questionnaire enables participants to offer concrete improvement
and expansion proposals:  therefore one can write what content one
would like to change, which terms, images or languages are missing,
whether the index is being used and if one has understood the
methodology used in the creation of the Glossary.  Personal details
will help to shine light on the tradition underpinning the
background knowledge of the user.

Participation is now open.  It is estimated that to answer the whole
questionnaire, an average time of around 15 minutes is needed.

The survey can be found under "survey" on

On the same website, the PDF versions of the Glossary are available
for download.
