In autumn 2016 the Finnish Terminology Centre TSK started a terminology project to complement and update Trimble's Tekla Structures glossary, a glossary on building modelling software. The glossary gives English term recommendations and definitions for the central concepts of the software.
The newest published version the Tekla Structures Glossary is available on the address

In late 2015, Finland's National Board of Antiquties and the Finnish Terminology Centre started a project for extending the MAO/TAO – Ontology for Museum Domain and Applied Arts. The extended ontology was published in the ontology and thesaurus service maintained by the National Library of Finland, the Finto service.
Finnish Terminology Centre publishes online magazine Terminfo, which is meant for everyone interested in terminology and special languages. Terminfo is available free of charge for all readers and the articles deal with e.g. terminology work both in Finland and abroad, Finnish Terminology Centre's projects and study of terminology.
