The table to work on the project
Until some technical details are finalised for the use of the FAIRterm application, all participations shall use these consolidated tables to guarantee the consistency of the project.
FAIRterm Application
FAIRterm is a free tool for the compilation of multilingual terminological records. This Web application has been developed at the University of Padua by Federica Vezzani, Assistant Professor in Terminology (Department of Linguistic and Literary Studies), and Giorgio Maria Di Nunzio, Associate Professor in Computer Engineering (Department of Information Engineering).
FAIRterm is the first terminology tool designed in order to meet the FAIR principles (Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability, and Reusability) for research data and implemented according to the ISO TC/37 SC/3 standards currently in force for terminology management. The theoretical premises behind the design of the tool are based on the paradigm of the “FAIR terminology” whose goal is to provide a model for the optimal and efficient organization of terminological data. For more details, see: Vezzani F. 2022 (open access book), and Vezzani F. and Di Nunzio G. M. 2020 (Terminology Journal, 26:2, pp. 265–297).
Within the Terminology without borders project, the TermCoord supports the use of the FAIRterm tool for the compilation of multilingual terminological records by the partners collaborating in the project.
The advantages deriving from the use of the FAIRterm tool are:
- ensuring the consistency among the YourTerm projects;
- harmonizing the terminological workflow between partners;
- supporting the FAIRness of terminological data for the scientific community;
- complying with European requirements for Open Science.
The web application is free, but you need to fill in this Google form in order to get your login credentials. Once you received your credentials, you can directly access the FAIRterm tool by clicking here.
The Web application allows both the individual and collaborative terminology work. We kindly ask you to specify this information in the Google form.
DISCLAIMER
Since the application is still adding new languages, if (and only if) your working language is missing you can use this Excel table compliant with the FAIRterm app and send it to dgtrad.yourterm@ep.europa.eu or to the responsible for your chosen domain, that you can consult in the Project Coordinators page.
Term Extraction Tools
TermoStat is an automatic term acquisition tool that exploits a method of contrasting specialized and non-specialized corpora to identify terms. The online version of TermoStat supports English, French, Spanish, Italian and Portuguese.
AntConc is a corpus analysis software that allows you to shuffle a large amount of text to detect occurrences, recurrences and word matches for text study. It is compatible with TXT, HTML and XML formats. You can load entire folders and analyze your texts.
SynchroTerm speeds up the extraction and creation of terminology records by using statistical algorithms to automatically identify terminology equivalents. It automatically extracts source terms, their equivalents and contexts from file pairs of any format, LogiTerm bitext or SDLXLIFF, XLIFF or TMX files. It is a paid software.
Sketch Engine is a text analysis and corpus query system with analytical, statistical and text searching tools to process your own data as well as built-in linguistic databases of billions of words. It is a paid sofware.
