Creating Terminological Resources in the Digital Age for Less-resourced Languages

Mercè Vàzquez


Abstract
Multilingual terminological resources contain the most representative knowledge of specialized domains and allow professionals to create and translate specialized content in order to spread knowledge. Today, representative and useful multilingual terminological resources are available for the most resourced languages. This reduces or limits the development of knowledge in less-resourced languages across different specialized domains, mainly those that are constantly evolving and creating or adapting new concepts as needed. In this paper we present our methodology for carrying out terminological projects in Catalan, based entirely on open access linguistic resources and using natural language processing tools. The main objective of this research is to maximize the Catalan terminology currently available in open access, using a combination of natural language processing tools. The results are supervised by linguists and terminologist experts before being publicly available to the public. The findings of our research provide a new approach to terminology work, making it possible to design high-volume multilingual terminological projects that are manually revised by linguists and terminologists in the context of less-resourced languages.
