Motivation and Aims

Among other Language Resources, terminologies play a major role since large ranges of industrial applications in an IST context require them. Until recently, the priority was to make terminological data describing the main scientific and technological fields available in sufficient quantities in machine-readable form. Hence, the quantitative criterion used to prevail over the quality issues. Understandably, Human Language Technologies had to experience the complexity of collecting and building monolingual and multilingual LR before shifting from that earlier priority. On the other hand, HLT had to build NLP tools mature enough to be worth integrating in language and knowledge engineering methods. Research in computational terminology, first focused on term identification and extraction, is now also concerned with structuring the lists of terms into terminological networks. Experience in building LR and the availability of terminological tools makes it possible to reconsider the whole process of LR building. These tools have become mature enough to be worth integrating in language and knowledge engineering methods. Available results now call for discussion with respect to the question of evaluating resources and for comparison with results obtained with different approaches. This half-day session aims at drawing an overall picture of the results and remaining issues dealing with the whole process of terminology acquisition and its evaluation.
Discussions will be favored among the participants. This workshop will provide an opportunity to meet and discuss with various other "players" in the field.

Topics of Interest

Technical and theoretical issues to be discussed at the workshop include, but are not limited to:

• Methods and tools designed to assist terminological work;
• Terminology structuring;
• Monolingual vs. multilingual terminology;
• Corpus-driven multilingual terminology;
• Methodological aspects of evaluation in computational terminology;
• Evaluation of terminological tools results;
• Evaluation of terminological tools as part of a co-operative process;

Important Dates

Submission Details

Papers should be research or position papers connected to the topics of the workshop. Accepted submissions will give rise to oral presentation at the workshop. So as to favor the discussion, each speaker will be asked to answer a set of a few but challenging questions. Each submission should show: title; author(s); affiliation(s); and contact author's e-mail address, postal address, telephone and fax numbers. Abstracts (maximum 1,000 words, plain-text format) should be sent to:
Adeline Nazarenko
Those who wish to attend without offering a paper are asked to briefly motivate their interest and may send a brief position paper to contribute to the discussions. These contributions will be appended to the workshop proceedings.
The final version of the accepted papers should not be longer than 4,000 words or 10 A4 pages. Instructions for formatting and presentation of the final version will be sent to authors upon notification of acceptance.
