Goal of the project: To establish Pan-European terminology data infrastructure for creation, management and sharing of multilingual terminology resources. For this purpose, we have created an open terminology management and sharing toolkit that enables federation of terminology databases and aggregation of terms from national and institutional termbases.

Project abstract: In this project 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. The data from the network is provided to the ELRC-SHARE thus supporting eTranslation with comprehensive multilingual terminology resources.
