*"Terminology in the Digital Age: the Ontological Turn"*

Training session: 1-2 June 2021
http://toth.condillac.org/training-2021

Ontology, in the sense of Knowledge Engineering, is one of the most 
promising perspectives for Terminology today. By proposing an 
extralinguistic representation of the conceptual system that makes up 
any terminology, ontology not only allows the operationalization of 
terminologies for information processing purposes (specialized 
translation, semantic and multilingual search engines, knowledge 
management, etc.) but also renews the discipline of Terminology in its 
foundations, principles and methods, hence offering new possibilities.

This training session will begin by recalling the foundations of 
Terminology as a scientific discipline, emphasizing its dual linguistic 
and conceptual dimension. The different theories of the concept that 
underlie Terminology will also be introduced. Emphasis will be placed on 
ontology defined as a formal representation of a conceptualization. The 
multiple benefits of this approach will be detailed; most prominently:

i. permitting to take into account and reconcile specialized language 
and specialized knowledge, without rejecting one for the benefit of the 
other,

ii. allowing to standardize what can be standardized, namely domain 
knowledge, and to preserve what must be preserved, namely linguistic 
diversity.

Participants will have hands-on practice through concrete examples on 
how to model, define (represent), and name the concepts of a domain. 
Participants are asked to bring their laptop.

Objectives of the training: Participants will acquire the theoretical 
and practical skills necessary to build the formal conceptual system of 
terminology. Protégé will be used for building ontologies opening 
Terminology to the Semantic Web.

Target audience: Linguists, Terminologists, Translators, Archivists, 
Computer scientists, Knowledge engineers…

Training Fees: Student: 50 €, Academic: 75 €, Other/Industrial : 125 €
