The term "exposition" means the show itself and "exhibition", "the act of showing or the display." For events of universal interest, the word "exposition" is used for the official designations while current usage also uses "world exhibition" though an inappropriate generic. The term "fair" meaning "a gathering for the purpose of showing goods and products often with entertainment or a midway" is also an inappropriate generic for such world events. 3, record 2, English, - world%20exposition

Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Une exposition mondiale offre aux participants l'occasion de présenter une image actuelle d’eux-mêmes qui comprend le traitement idéologique du thème choisi. Pour le public, il s’agit d’une occasion de s’informer sur les autres pays du globe et d’éveiller sa conscience sur l'avenir de la planète; l'exposition universelle n’ est pas une foire d’amusement, mais un lieu de rencontre et de réflexion. Les expositions universelles sont régies par le Bureau international des expositions(BIE) qui a officiellement choisi le générique «exposition universelle» pour les événements de cette envergure; les autres génériques utilisés pour les désigner s’avèrent donc inappropriés. 3, record 2, French, - exposition%20universelle

Les expositions universelles ont habituellement des thèmes de nature humaine et sociale, comme «Terre des hommes», le thème d’Expo 67 à Montréal (Québec), ou économique et environnementale, comme «Transports et Communications», celui d’Expo 86 à Vancouver (Colombie-Britannique). 3, record 2, French, - exposition%20universelle
