Glossary
We hope that these explanations and defi-nitions will be of value to you. They are based on our wide-ranging expe-reince across the world - where appropriate the cover differences between different terms used goegraphically.
We will update these pages on an on-going basis and we have therefore elected to not make the Glossary a download. This way you simply need to put this Glossary Index Page into your favourites and you will be sure to always access the most up-to-date version.
