The applications of a standardized Chinese medicine (CM) terminology are ultimately the translation and publication of literature, education, as well as scholarly and legal communication. Over the ...past 20-30 years the amount of published CM literature, including clinical and experimental research, has increased exponentially. In addition, the numbers of professionally trained Western CM scholars and clinicians have been continuously rising, and they are now forming a considerable academic force that should be taken seriously. Because of the continuous advancements of CM abroad, there is a strong demand for the application of a "common official language" to facilitate this progress and the future developments in the field. A standard to be applied within China is also a necessary work needed for the uniform transmission of the indigenous medical system abroad.
Arabic controlled vocabularies do not differ from all other controlled vocabularies as far as basic features are concerned, however they do bear a number of shortcomings, which have limited their ...effectiveness dissemination. These include the lack of adaptations to Arab-specific applications, and the failure of terms to connote the content of subject areas easily and consistently. Besides, differences and variability in terminology and syntax cause problems in cross-domain or cross-system interoperability. In addition, Existing software is unequipped to service Arabic-speaking libraries in such a way that allows them to be technologically comparable with modern libraries around the world, thus limiting their integration into the international library community. This technological shortcoming also limits the ease by which they are able to make knowledge resources attainable to researchers and other library users. This article proposes a framework for a monolingual web-based terminology management system that operates in Arabic and supports the use of Arabic controlled vocabularies. This article is based on ISO 26162:2012 Systems to manage terminology, knowledge and content - Design, implementation and maintenance of terminology management systems.
El desenvolupament de la indústria floral ha assolit una notorietat considerable com a sector emergent en l’àmbit econòmic mundial. A diferència d’Espanya, en els mercats florals xinesos l’ús de ...termes metafòrics és molt més freqüent. Basem el nostre estudi en els termes florals extrets de les investigacions in situ de quatre mercats de flors i no només descrivim l’ús metafòric dels termes florals, sinó que també els classifiquem des del punt de vista lingüístic per conèixer millor les necessitats d’estandardització terminològica del sector i en el mercat internacional.
The cut flower industry has achieved considerable prominence as an emerging sector in the global economic arena. As opposed to the situation in Spain, in Chinese flower markets the use of metaphorical terms is quite common. On the basis of the floral terms extracted from on-site investigations at four flower markets, this paper not only describes the metaphorical use of floral terms but also classifies them from the linguistic standpoint to better understand the need for terminological standardization in this sector and in the international market.

This paper discusses the challenges and benefits of using CAT tools to ensure standardized terminology use in translations in a tertiary education institution. It aims to address the challenges faced ...in official document translation from Turkish into English and German using consistent terminology. Based on specific institutional needs, a server-based collaboration platform was installed, followed by the collection and assessment of institutional texts translated by various units of the university. After their alignment/import into a server-based translation memory, the core terms used in these texts were then imported into a server-based term base. Implications are discussed and suggestions are made.
This article discusses IT terms and terminology management in Hong Kong from the perspective of Language Management Theory (Jernudd and Neustupný 1987, 1991; Jernudd and Nekvapil 2012; Nekvapil ...2012). The noting, evaluating, adjusting and implementing of IT terms are examined in the context of lexical innovation (through translation) in the contact situation that Hong Kong represents. It describes the management of Chinese IT terms by agencies in Hong Kong and also discusses the efficacy of standardization of terminology as an agency goal in view of the potential of noting inadequacies of terminology in actual discourse.
Clinical traditional Chinese pharmacology is the subject that study of basic theory of traditional Chinese medicine, property of Chinese materia medica and clinical application. The study on the ...standardization research of the terminology of clinical traditional Chinese pharmacology is an important premise and foundation to standardization, modernization and internationalization, informationization construction of clinical traditional Chinese pharmacology and is also the important content of the subject construction. To provide some exploring ideas for clinical traditional Chinese pharmacology noun terminology standardization, this article elaborates the concept of strengthening Yin with bitter-flavor herbs in several aspects, such as connotation and the historical origin, the clinical application in the traditional, modern clinic application, and the modern basic research and so on.
One of the many implications of the process of language democratization which started post-1994 in South Africa is the empowerment of the previously marginalized South African Bantu languages to ...become languages of higher functions, i.e. languages of learning and teaching, and also of scientific discourse. This in turn implies the development, consolidation and especially standardization of terminology for each of these languages, and the compilation of LSP dictionaries. This article describes the terminological processing of a technical source text prior to translation, which formed part of the compilation of a Quadrilingual Explanatory Dictionary of Chemistry. It reports on the model of terminology management that was utilized and explores strategies for the internal standardization of terms in the absence of readily available, standardized chemistry terminology. Bestuur en interne standaardisering van chemieterminologie : 'n Noord-Sotho gevallestudie Een van die talle implikasies van die proses van taaldemokratisering wat na 1994 in Suid-Afrika plaasgevind het, is die bemagtiging van die voorheen benadeelde Suid-Afrikaanse Bantoetale om ook tale van hoër funksies te word, dit wil sê tale van onderrig en leer, en ook tale van wetenskaplike diskoers. Dit impliseer die ontwikkeling, konsolidasie en veral standaardisering van terminologie vir elkeen van hierdie tale, asook die saamstel van vakwoordeboeke. Hierdie artikel beskryf die terminologiese prosessering van 'n tegniese teks voor die vertaling daarvan. Die vertaling vorm deel van die samestelling van 'n Viertalige Verklarende Chemiewoordeboek. Die artikel lewer verslag oor die model van terminologiebestuur wat gebruik is en verken strategieë vir die interne standaardisering van terme in die afwesigheid van algemeenbeskikbare, gestandaardiseerde chemieterme.
