The Institute of the Estonian Language and the Finnish Terminology Centre have launched a joint project, TERM-COL, co-funded by the Erasmus+ programme of the European Union. The project focuses on developing an operational model and an AI-based terminology collection tool for processing large text resources in Estonian, Finnish and English, as well as collecting terminological data on AI-related concepts.
The most recent contents at The Helsinki Term Bank for the Arts and Sciences (HTB) have been updated in TEPA Term Bank.
The Finnish Terminology Centre and the Institute of the Estonian Language started a joint development project in September. The aim of the project is to develop an operating model and an AI-based terminology collection tool that is able to handle large text resources in Estonian and Finnish. Data on AI-related concepts are collected from the test data in the development work, and terminologists process the data to be published on the platforms of the Terminology Centre and the Institute. Thus the project also enhances the availability of Estonian and Finnish AI terms.
New and updated concepts:
The Finnish Terminology Centre and Statistics Finland started a terminology project in March 2025. The aim of the project is to support cooperation in the GSGF-CARE project (Global Statistical Geospatial Framework - Collaboration and Awareness in Europe) financed by the EU. The Glossary of Geospatial Information in Statistics published in 2024 is made use of in the work.
The terms and concept descriptions will be given in English. The terminology will be ready in autumn 2026.
The Nordic cooperation forum Nordterm is organizing the Nordterm 2025 conference 11–13 June 2025 in Reykjavík. The conference’s theme is Gemensamma termer (Shared Terms).
The MAO/TAO Ontology in the Finnish National Library's Finto service
The Finnish Heritage Agency commissioned the Finnish Terminology Centre to update the Ontology for Museum Domain (MAO/TAO). During the year 2024, some definitions related house construction to as well as some new concepts were added to the ontology. The General Finnish Ontology (YSO) which has been added to the MAO/TAO was updated to a newer version (2024.6 Jung).
The most recent contents of EU's terminology database IATE have been updated in Finnish Terminology Centre TSK’s TEPA Term Bank. All term records from IATE’s database that contain Finnish can now be found in TEPA.
