Second call for papers. NEW DEADLINE : 22nd February 2006

==========================================================

International Workshop on Terminology design: quality criteria and
evaluation methods (TermEval) within the 5th International Conference
on Language Resources and Evaluation LREC (2006)

28th May 2006 - Magazzini del Cotone Conference Centre, Genoa - Italy
(http://www.lrec-conf.org/lrec2006/IMG/pdf/LRECworkshopTERMEVAL.htm)


Context

Terminology is undeniably at the heart of many human and machine
activities but the method and practice of terminology design have
considerably evolved over the last two decades.

The attention and importance granted to texts and corpora, which is
directly related to the exponential increase of texts freely
circulating on the Internet, have promoted a corpus-based
terminological approach and terminology design is now often considered
as a computer- assisted task. On the other hand, the development of
e-commerce and e-business has proportionally developped the needs in
terminological products and results in an increase of interest in
multilinguism, because, it is now advisable to sell products and
services in the target market languages, from a commercial
perspective.

This new state of affairs makes it important to evaluate the different
resources and tools originating from terminology and research in
terminology processing.

What is a good terminology?

On which criteria do terminologists asses the quality of their work in
practical applications?

How should the terminological tools such as terminology extractors be
evaluated?

How are the resulting terminologies considered in their context of
use?  Although some campaigns have been carried out in different
settings, there is not yet an international forum where practitioners,
researchers from the academia and industrials producing terminology
tools and products can meet in order to discuss best practices,
evaluation procedures and set up benchmarks. It is important to
address these questions in the perspective of the development of
multilinguality. 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 granted to the multilingual aspect of
terminological design, which is the current terminological challenge.

Topics of interest

Articles are invited to discuss and analyse the questions of quality
criteria and evaluation methods in designing terminologies. Concrete
experimental feed-back will be appreciated. Various terminological
tasks can be considered:

- Language planning
- Localisation
- Market-driven language and economy
- Ontology building
- Standardization
- Terminology policies
- Tools for terminology management
- Translingual terminological support

In each case, terminology design can be considered either as a manual
or as a computer-assisted task.
