Annecy - June 3rd & 4th 2010
Knowledge engineering in general and ontologies in particular have revitalized terminology, and made it a key element for a great many applications essential to the digital age. Terminology opens up new perspectives for a broad spectrum of information processing: for terminology committees, document management, modeling, language policy, knowledge capitalization, knowledge representation, translation, the semantic web, etc. But all these new perspectives throw up fresh questions as to how language and concepts interact in terminology.
Terminology, as an autonomous field of research, has become pluridisciplinary and draws on linguistics, language for special purposes (LSP), artificial intelligence and information sciences.
