CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

Workshop on Corpus-Based Terminology

Bozen/Bolzano, February 26-28, 1998
European Academy Bozen/Bolzano

Patronage
Autonome Provinz Bozen


=============
BACKGROUND
=============
The motivation to organize this workshop is a project currently in the
planning phase at the European Academy Bozen/Bolzano. The main goal of
the project is to elaborate a comprehensive Italian/German terminology
in the areas of law and administration for the use in South Tyrol by
extracting the term pairs from a representative corpus of relevant
bilingual texts. A more detailed description can be found here:
			http://www.eurac.edu/fb1/Projects/catex.htm
The objective of the workshop is to bring together leading researchers
working on corpus-based terminology and to provide a forum of discussion
of the state of the art in this area. The main focus will be on
computational methods and technologies covering the following topics:
	T1: Encoding (multilingual) text corpora
	T2: Extraction of data/knowledge from text corpora (translation
equivalents, concept relations, ...)
	T3: Terminological data/knowledge representation
