Consolidated access to current and reliable terms from different subject
fields and languages is necessary for content creators and translators.
Terminology is also needed in AI applications such as machine translation,
speech recognition, information extraction, and other natural language
processing tools. In this work, we facilitate standards-based sharing and
management of terminology resources by providing an open terminology management
solution - the EuroTermBank Toolkit. It allows organisations to manage and
search their terms, create term collections, and share them within and outside
the organisation by participating in the network of federated databases. The
data curated in the federated databases are automatically shared with
EuroTermBank, the largest multilingual terminology resource in Europe, allowing
translators and language service providers as well as researchers and students
to access terminology resources in their most current version.
