Tools for Terminology Processing
This work provides practical tools for researchers and professionals in fields requiring terminology management, but it is incremental as it builds on existing methods without introducing major innovations.
The paper addresses the need for automatic terminology processing by presenting tools developed at the IRIN Institute that handle term acquisition, recognition, and structuring from text inputs, enabling applications like indexing and information retrieval.
Automatic terminology processing appeared 10 years ago when electronic corpora became widely available. Such processing may be statistically or linguistically based and produces terminology resources that can be used in a number of applications : indexing, information retrieval, technology watch, etc. We present the tools that have been developed in the IRIN Institute. They all take as input texts (or collection of texts) and reflect different states of terminology processing: term acquisition, term recognition and term structuring.
