systematic inventory Explanation: I have seen "reasoned inventory" before, but only in the EN translation of FR texts, so would be cautious. On the other hand, I have come across this term where the FR term is "inventaire raisonne" |

annotated bibliography/checklist/catalogue Explanation: I'm not sure which noun you need, because it's unclear what is being listed. "Raisonné" is best rendered by "annotated." "Inventory" is possible in some cases, but is generally a commercial term. |

detailed inventory Explanation: Not just a list, some description too. "“We are compling a comprehensive and detailed invetory of the holdings in the Archive, and indexing, as time permits, all church registers. ..." www.pechurchnet.co.za/news/iindaba/iind2009.htm - "Dividend receipts are derived by applying dividend yeilds to a large and detailed invetory of foreign stocks held by the major Canadian financial ..." www.statcan.gc.ca/pub/67-001-x/00205/4090962-eng.htm - -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 7 hrs (2010-02-21 22:39:48 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Perhaps more relevant to the context: "14.

His archive is a detailed inventory of the everyday. He pumped his subjects „ often the last speakers of their languages „ for everything they knew on topics ranging from astronomy to zoology. His papers describe centuries-old ceremonies. Medicinal cures. Songs, dances and games. Family histories. Even gossip." http://www.ogmios.org/ogmios_files/247.htm -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 20 hrs (2010-02-22 11:34:48 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I think that the following use of the term in French is reasonably equivalent to its use in the last couple of references I gave in English. "Il s'agit avant tout d'un inventaire raisonnée des pratiques communes au duché et jusqu'alors transmises par tradition ; on n'y trouve donc pas d'éléments ..." fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coutume_de_Bretagne - |
