Analysis of a terminological base in the field of two-dimensional seismic surveying and proposals on its development and unification

Introduction. The state of the terminological base used in field two-dimensional seismic surveying period 1933–2015 is analyzed and proposals to revise some key concepts are made. Aim. An analysis existing procedure formation a new on basis system approach. Materials methods. terms educational, reference normative literature published 1933–2015, followed by critical revealed bases. Results. investigated interval was divided into three stages terminology applied surveying. first stage covered from 1933 1959, when fundamental technology were passing formation. quantity at that time small, many them characterised unwieldiness or uncertainty described concept. In 1960–1992, forming presented standard. third characterized slow pace development, number publications showed return outdated unsuccessful terms. author identified most stable terms, their unified names definitions, provided recommendations for use. following definitions proposed revision: placement removal (distance), taking account variety observation systems 2D surveying; inherited practice 3D group theory, including receiving line, removal, template, template step, order. A classification templates considered. Conclusion. surveying, its shortcomings problems, analyzed. It improve current adding revising definitions.
