In 1968, World Mining published its first multilingual mining glossary--the International Glossary of Technical Terms. Since then the need for a revised and expanded work has become apparent; in particular, users have expressed a need for a glossary incorporating alphabetized, cross-referenced lists in all five languages (English, Swedish, German, French, Spanish) to facilitate translation to and from each language. Furthermore, it was decided to double, approximately, the 5,500 terms of the first volume. The glossary uses the letter-by-letter system of alphabetizing in which work breaks and punctuation are disregarded. Additionally, hypens are ignored; abbreviations are alphabetized as they appear, not as if they were spelled out; phrases are alphabetized as they appear, not by inverting to put an arbitrary key work first; numbers are spelled out.
