Methods of terminology work and ontology work

For a special field glossary to serve its purpose, it must be prepared carefully and by using the general principles and methods of terminology work. Of these methods, the most central are concept analysis and terminological data management based on knowledge of the structures in terminological data.

Ontology work and what it is needed for

Terminology work, in its most traditional form, aims to make communication more effective between humans. Ontology work, in turn, aims to present data about concepts in a way that allows even computers to make use of it. The objective of ontology work is to create and maintain ontologies in which information on the concepts of a special field of knowledge is presented in a format that supports machine reasoning.
