UIS- Wikicaves Working group

 
 
Hello ,

As you might  have seen  or read in the IUS report ,  Wikicaves and its database Grottocenter  are evolving  and expanding .We were wondering if  you would be willing to take part  in this project initiated in  2016  by the  the UIS and the UIS- Wikicaves Working group  to  ascertain what level of locational precision for caves  you are  ready to  accept for your  country and if you would be willing to supply information about some of  your caves in order .to expand the world database which is slowly expanding  .

 Once more,   thank you for your  contribution to the  caving community

The UIS Symbols

The International Union of Speleology has been working for several decades to propose standardized symbols that can be used to describe surface phenomena, to make plans of caves and artificial cavities and recently to ensure the conservation of the underground environment. Work has just been done to provide access to all this information at a single address https://ontology.uis-speleo.org/symbols/ Each symbol has its own URL and can be accompanied by detailed information
