Second call for papers: Special Issue - Terminology 21(2), 2015

Terminology across languages and domains

http://natalia.grabar.perso.sfr.fr/TERMINO2015

Computational Terminology covers an increasingly important dimension
of Natural Language Processing, affecting areas such as text mining,
information retrieval, information extraction, summarisation, textual
entailment, document management systems, question-answering systems,
ontology building, machine translation, etc. Terminological
information is paramount for knowledge mining from texts for
scientific discovery and competitive intelligence. As a result of many
years of research, Computational Terminology has gained in strength
and maturity. It proposes well-tried and novel methodologies, tools
and resources for several languages and domains.

The aim of this special issue is to present and describe relevant
research dedicated to any of the above mentioned areas. More
particularly, the topics to be addressed in this issue are expected to
be concerned with, though not necessarily exclusively to, such areas
as:

- Robustness and portability of methods: e.g. the application of
  methods developed in one given context to other contexts (corpora,
  domains, languages, etc.) and to share the research expertise among
  them;

- Monolingual and multilingual resources: e.g. opening possibilities
  for developing cross-lingual and multi-lingual applications,
  requiring specific corpora; the design, development and evaluation
  of robust methods and tools are challenging issues;

- Social networks and modern media processing: this aspect remains
  very attractive for researchers. The available data provided contain
  very rich information, although its processing is challenging for
  Natural Language Processing and methodology of Computational
  Terminology;

- Re-utilization and adaptation of terminologies in various NLP
  applications: because terminologies are a necessary component of any
  NLP system dealing with domain-specific literature their use in the
  corresponding NLP applications is essential. Re-utilization and
  adaptation of terminologies is a challenging research direction,
  especially when the terminologies developed for one domain or
  application are to be used for different domains or applications;

- Catering for new user needs: e.g. designing, creating new and/or
  adapting existing methods and research experience to user needs not
  hitherto covered by existing research;

- Transfer of methodologies from one language to another, especially
  when the transfer is concerned with less-resourced languages;

- Consideration of user expertise: this topic is becoming a new issue
  in terminological activities; it takes into account the fact that
  specialized domains contain notions and terms often incomprehensible
  to non-experts or to laymen (such as patients within the field of
  medicine, or bank clients within the field of banking and
  economics). This topic, although related to specialized areas,
  provides direct links between specialized languages and general
  language.  It concerns the challenge to use methods and resources,
  though often designed for the expert must also satisfy non-expert
  needs;

- Systematic terminology management and updating domain specific
  dictionaries and thesauri, which are important aspects for
  maintaining existing terminological resources. These aspects become
  crucial because the volume of the existing terminological resources
  is constantly increasing and because their constant and efficient
  use depends on their maintenance and updating, while their
  re-acquisition is costly and often non-reproducible.

The editors are willing to accept submissions covering different
approaches, theoretical frameworks and applications, such as mentioned
in this call.

Papers should be anonymous, written with Word and comprise between
20-30 pages (max. 9,000 words). More information on formatting
requirements can be found on
http://natalia.grabar.perso.sfr.fr/TERMINO2015. English is preferred
(80% of the contents), but submissions in French, Spanish or German
will be considered.

Each issue of Terminology contains up to six or seven articles.
