CLARINO is a coordinated effort to create a national infrastructure for language

resources, funded by the Research Council of Norway and linked to the Europe-wide

CLARIN project. This poster describes ongoing work on terminology in the CLARINO

project – called Terminor. Terminor is a specific work package in CLARINO, WP 7

Terminology Integration, led by NHH, which is devoted to the development of a

national portal for terminology resources. Terminor will take an important step

towards overcoming the fragmentation problem in the terminology field and the need

for coordination of terminological efforts at international and national levels.

The aim is to establish a national infrastructure and to integrate and harmonise

terminological language resources and technologies. This will be in response to the

national responsibility now given to higher education to develop and disseminate

Norwegian academic terminology, not excluding other terminology resources. The

effort comes as a natural extension of already existing resources originating from the

Norwegian Term Bank which in recent years have been further developed in projects

such as KB-N, Mikroøkonomen, Termportalen and CLARA. It is not the aim of Terminor

to develop new terminologies per se, but to provide the technical architecture needed

for their integration and accessibility, and to vouch for their interoperability with the

international standards.

Introduction

Aims and objectives

Pilot study 2: The UHR terminology database

In CLARINO/META-NORD we have used the terminology base developed by the

Norwegian Association of Higher Education Institutions (UHR) in a case study for the

conversion of an unstructured terminology list into a TBX-compatible XML database.

The TBX format will be used as the principal data format for terminology in CLARINO.

Pilot study 1: The project Termportalen

Terminor will include a technical architecture that integrates a variety of structured,

mono- and multilingual terminology bases via a common interface. The infrastructure

will provide public and controlled unified access to distributed resources in a national

grid-based architecture, with links to European terminology resources via CLARIN. Both

distributed and centralised solutions will be offered to providers and end-users of

terminology resources.

Terminor will cater for autonomous bases with a common interface and search system,

as well as integrate a variety of existing termbases into a central knowledge base

containing entries for concepts and conceptual descriptions such as main terms and

synonyms, definitions and concept relations within an overall domain structure.

Administrative issues

• recruit programmer/technical staff (mid October 2012)

• send out invitations to resource suppliers

• establish alternative agreements and licences in CLARINO/Terminor

• arrange technical seminar on terminology management systems (autumn 2012)

Terminology resources

• establish an updated overview of resources with integration priority

Technical solutions

• implement technical specifications for terminology resources in CLARIN(O) such as

TBX/XML/XSLT, TEI, LMF, TeDIF, ISOCAT

• plan and initiate resource integration in CLARIN(O)

• select most adequate terminology management system

• develop the initial version of the national terminology portal

The system links together terminology amounting to approx. 124,000 entries from a

wide range of technical fields. The project also resulted in a survey of terminological

resources. The system and the survey form the basis for the terminology effort in

CLARINO.

The pilot project Termportalen (2006-2008), partly funded by the Norwegian Language

Council, developed a prototype of a national terminology portal, linking resources from

several earlier projects (EØS-base, KB-N, NOT-base, RTT) and making them accessible

via a common search interface.

Towards a national portal for Norwegian terminology in the CLARINO project

The need for a nationally coordinated terminology effort

Several white papers and reports have recently stressed the need for a nationally

coordinated effort to overcome the fragmentation problem in Norway:

“…electronic term banks are the best possible medium for the

development, archiving and dissemination of terminology…” (Mål og

meining, p. 104)

“…existing terminological practises vary considerably, often the work

is carried out without consulting existing guidelines, and the

terminology is often not made externally accessible. The use of

many variable data formats is an obstacle for efficient search and

web-based presentation…” (Mål og meining, p. 104)
