[Crm-sig] issue scope note of E32, sorry

[João Oliveira Lima]

Dear Christian-Emil,



    My first suggestion is to replace:

" thesauri, authority lists, documents and instances of knowledge
organizing systems that define terminology or conceptual systems for
consistent use."

    by

" thesauri, authority lists, instances of knowledge organizing systems and
documents that define terminology or conceptual systems for consistent use."



    Justification:

    It seem that the expression "that define terminology or conceptual
systems for consistent use" was a restriction specific to the  "document"
scope because the others elements ( encyclopaedia, thesauri,
authority lists and also KOS  ), by definition, are linked with the
terminology or conceptual system idea.



    The second suggestion is to replace the term “encyclopaedia” by
“encyclopedia”.



    Justification:

     According Google Books Ngram Viewer (link below), since the 1900s, the
use of the term “encyclopedia” is more common than “encyclopaedia”.
