AB The ICOMOS International Scientific Committee for  Stone (ISCS) is providing a forum for the interchange of  experience, ideas, and knowledge in the field of stone  conservation. ISCS aims at facilitating the publication,  dissemination and presentation of state of the art  reviews on pre-identified issues. Simplification and  demystification of scientific information for practitioners  are also part of the main goals of the group.  In studies on stone deterioration and conservation, terminological  confusions lead to major communication  problems between scientists, conservators and practitioners.  In this context, it is of primary importance to set  up a common language; if degradation patterns can be  shown, named and described, then they can be recognised  and compared with similar ones in a more accurate  way in further investigations.  The ISCS glossary constitutes an important tool for  scientific discussions on decay phenomena and processes.  It is also an excellent basis for tutorials on stone  deterioration. It is based on the careful examination of  pre-existing glossaries of English terms. It does not aim  at replacing these glossaries, often set up originally in a  language other than English, and for most of them done  to a high standard.
