The paper summarizes five years of activities concerning the construction of Multilangual Interdisciplinary Terminological Dictionary and Lexicon for Geoinformatics of Polish Academy of Science and Arts. In the frames of this activities some 500 entries concerning photogrammetry and remote sensing, spatial information systems, and cartography, were produced. The dictionary editorial software got also some new functions. Beside the earlier existing functions, the new ones, such as function for the mass editorial data import, are described. Actually, the Dictionary provides very easy way of editing of new terms, and also very user friendly way of searching for a needed term. All works concerning the dictionary were initiated and are executed under auspices of the Geoinformatics Commission of The Polish Academy of Arts and Sciences. That activities cover the inventory of the terminology concerning geoinformatics, and are executed with participation of many scientific centers in Poland, with the leading activity of specialists of the AGH Department of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing Informatics. Such wide participation of various specialists allows not only for deep trace of the word formation trends, which exist separately in various disciplines of science and technology, which use geoinformatics, but also some terminological unification can be expected with the passing time of the editorial cooperation.
