Talk:Preservation

Preservation and other terms of the same family are use worldwide, with distinct meanings and to have these differences erased is an impossible task. However, I would like to see a kind of a schematic framework of these terms since at certain point in the future it may help others to adopt or to adapt them to their own cultural environments. For instance, preservation can be considered as an umbrella for all the actions that contribute to "keep" something authentic. In this assumption, it could include other more specific concepts such as conservation, maintenance, restoration and it would be fully disjunctive only for reconstruction. Or, it can be a specific concept (as it is now defined in preservapedia) and then be disjunctive to all the other terms. Once this framework is set, the definitions become clearer and possible translations easier to be done. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.136.108.217 (talk • contribs) 15:24, 3 January 2012
