判定一项工作是否正式开始或启动,或者考证这项工作在历史上到底是什么时候开始的,尤其像地质调查工作这样事关一个国家科学技术发展的状态与沿革,事关一个国家经济社会进步与发展的重大事项,恐怕得有几个令人信服的“杠杠”或者说硬性的“尺度”来衡量,否则是难以令人心服口服的。比如:这项工作当时是不是已有比较成熟的发展理念与理论指引并付诸实施?是不是有了被政府认可的法定机构并能够相对独立地运作?是不是拥有可靠的经费来源?是不是拥有必备的人才队伍?在行 Determine whether a work started or started formally or whether this work started in the history. In particular, the status and evolution of a country’s science and technology development, such as geological survey, are related to the economic and social progress of a country With the development of major issues, I am afraid there are several convincing “Leverage ” or the rigid “scale ” to measure, otherwise it is difficult to convincing. For example, did this work already have a relatively mature concept of development and theoretical guidance at that time? Did it have a statutory body recognized by the government and was able to operate relatively independently? Did it have a reliable source of funding? Have the necessary talent team?
