Context
Terminology is undeniably at the
heart of many human and electronic activities but the methodology and
practice of terminology design have evolved considerably over the last
two decades. The attention and importance given to texts and corpora,
which
relate directly to the exponential increase of texts freely circulating
on the Internet, have promoted a corpus-based terminological approach
so that terminology design is now often considered as a
computer-assisted task. On the other hand, the development of
e-commerce and e-business has contributed to an increase in the demand
for terminological products and highlights
the importance of multilinguism, since products and services must be
offered in target market languages This new state of
affairs provokes the need for an evaluation of the different resources
and tools originating from terminology and research in terminology
processing. What can be considered as a good terminology? On which
criteria do terminologists assess the
quality of their work in practical applications? How should
terminological tools such as terminology extractors be evaluated? How
are the resulting terminologies received in
their contexts of usage? Although some such work has been pioneered in
different settings, there is not yet an international forum where
practitioners, researchers from academia
and the industrial sector producing terminology tools and products, can
meet in order to discuss best practices, evaluation procedures and to
set up benchmarks. It is important to address these questions in the
perspective of the development of multilingualism. This is the aim of
the current workshop organised within the LREC 2006. Research issues Issues which the workshop wishes
to address concern the quality of results produced by terminological
tools (thesaurus, lexicon, term base, ontology, index, glossary,
dictionary, taxonomy, classification) and their relevance vis-à-vis the target tasks or
applications, whether the products are used by humans or by machines.
Also, the quality of software programs for producing terminology
products or for assisting their production needs to be evaluated.
Special attention will be given to the multilingual aspect of
terminological design. Topics of interest Authors are invited to submit
articles which discuss and analyse matters of quality criteria and
evaluation methods in designing terminologies. Concrete experimental
feedback will be sought. Various terminological tasks can be
considered: Language planning Program committee (* to be confirmed) Antia Bassey
(University of Maiduguri, Nigeria) |

Participants
are invited to submit an article related to one or more topics of
interest (between 3 to 6 pages). Papers may describe research results
as well as work in progress and experimental feedback. Submission papers
for oral and poster presentations should follow the same stylesheet as
the ones for regular LREC papers. Final papers should be no longer than
6 pages. Each paper
accepted will be afforded a slot for presentation at the workshop. Each
submission should show: title; author(s); affiliation(s);
author’s e-mail address; postal address; telephone and fax
number(s). Submissions must be sent electronically in PDF format to
Rute Costa (m.rutecosta at mail.telepac.pt) and Adeline Nazarenko (adeline.nazarenko
at lipn.univ-paris13.fr). |
