<p><span lang="en-us"> In the emerging knowledge society and in pace
with fast-growing globalization more and more companies, organizations
and language communities face the need for an active, systematic and
coherent treatment of terminology. </span></p>
<p><span lang="en-us"> For many language communities or governments
there is a need to counter domain loss (the use of English in
preference to the main language of the community in science and
technology) generally or concerning specific subject fields, to support
language preservation activities for minority languages or to overcome
the digital divide and foster scientific-technological and economic
development in developing communities. </span></p>
<p><span lang="en-us"> Companies often need to timely adress problems
and special legal implications regarding product declaration,
description and technical documentation, e-business issues such as
product classification and interoperability but also marketing and
corporate identity issues in connection with the consistent use of
terminology as well as costs caused by miscommunication through the use
of inconsistent terminologies. </span></p>
<p><span lang="en-us"> Within the framework of the Terminology Week
(13-17 Nov.2006, Belgium) TermNet in cooperation with Lessius
Hogeschool will organize a workshop on this topic directed towards
terminologists, decision-makers and language professionals in
organizations. </span></p>
<p><span lang="en-us"> This workshop is presented by Infoterm, pioneer
in the field of terminology policies. </span>
