Terminology management is the process of documenting terms in a systematized and orderly fashion. The process can be as simple as creating a list of terms that appear in a text and their equivalents in the target languages, or as complex as creating concept maps and diagrams of how concepts are related to each other.
Terminology management drives a systematic approach to keeping business, brand, or topic-related language clear, to the point, and consistent in delivery. This is done with the help of terminologists and translators, often in collaboration with marketing and public relations departments.
Leading language service providers (LSPs) are increasingly looking for ways to improve quality and productivity in their terminology management when assisting clients. And several of the top of the league LSPs are looking to TermWeb, the cloud-based terminology management system from Interverbum Technology for the solution. TermWeb is powerful enough to convert complex and conflicting databases with millions of data entries into a single structured lexical resource.
The latest version, Termweb 4, simplifies and streamlines functions with its modern, user friendly interface and supportive collaborative functions. TermWeb 4 automates many tasks based on triggering actions, batches them in various, customizable ways, and notifies affected people. Studies show that terminologists typically spend about 60% of their working hours on tasks such as reviewing change logs, sending out notifications, and other administrative actions. TermWeb 4 reduces this burden substantially.
