Summary
This paper introduces Spriterm, a Swedish data model for terminology management. A prototype system and two applications, including a web-based tool and data dictionary, were developed using this model.
Area of Science:
- Computer Science
- Information Science
Background:
- Effective terminology management is crucial for data consistency and interoperability.
- Existing systems may lack flexibility or specific features for certain domains.
Purpose of the Study:
- To present the Spriterm data model for handling terminology.
- To describe a prototype terminology management system based on Spriterm.
- To introduce two applications developed from the prototype.
Main Methods:
- Development of the Spriterm data model.
- Implementation of a prototype system using Microsoft ACCESS.
- Creation of a World Wide Web-based application and a data dictionary.
Main Results:
- Successful implementation of the Spriterm data model.
- A functional prototype terminology management system.
- Two distinct applications demonstrating the model's utility.
Conclusions:
- The Spriterm data model provides a robust foundation for terminology management.
- The developed prototype and applications showcase the model's versatility and practical application.
