Before a company approaches term extraction to build a termbase, it is important to look at the need and available resources to establish a meaningful approach. This is the best way to establish a sensible approach. As we at blc are committed to designing efficient processes for optimum output, we are starting today with the prerequisites. What methods and tools are available for extracting terminology from the source texts?
