Auf den Spuren von Ontologie und Terminologie

On The Trail Of Ontology And Terminology

Did you read the blog my colleague Jenny has written last week with as much excitement as I did?My terminology heart was definitely leaping for joy while reading about the current developments of ontological terminology management!Furthermore, this is exactly the right reason for me to add a few words here.Here's why: Anyone who remembers knows…

Smart Terminology: Ontological Terminology Management

Terminology management is one of the cornerstones of an efficient translation workflow. The step-by-step terminology development via regular term extractions and an expert suggestion procedure for new terms guarantee that the terminology is always up-to-date. In addition to the classic terminology management systems, ontological management systems are increasingly becoming the focus of terminology management, which is why we are looking into the topic in more detail not only in this blog.
Terminology, quo vadis?

Terminology, quo vadis?

Has end-2-end terminology management already been established in your company? Do you have a terminology databasethat authors and translators can easily access? But do you sometimes ask yourself whether in the age of increasing digitization , "human" work on concepts and terms still is that important? Won't we soon be able to leave all of this to artificial intelligence anyway? What aspects of terminology work still play a role today? We examine why terminology management is more important than ever.
Conceptual relationships: terminology and semantic networks

Conceptual relationships: terminology and semantic networks

Good, concept-based terminology management requires technical coordination, a clear definition and the standardised establishment of preferred terms. However, in order to fully grasp concepts, it is essential to understand and record the relationships to neighbouring concepts. Concept maps with concepts as nodes and relationships as lines are used to represent the relationships between concepts. But what does "relationship between concepts" actually mean and what conceptual relationships exist?

What are ontologies and if so, how many?

In many projects we notice that the demand for ontologies in the terminology environment is increasing. But why actually? What are ontologies? How can terminology and ontology be combined? Do we need ontologies - and if so: one or more? We have addressed these questions in our article "The use of term systems in terminology management" in the current June issue of "edition - Die Fachzeitschrift für Terminologie".
