Conference Aim and Topics

TKE 2012 will be the 10th edition of this conference that started out under the auspices of TermNet, and has developed towards wider fields in knowledge transfer for special language communication in a multilingual global society. In this context, interdisciplinary research emphasizing the intersection of different disciplines dealing with terminological aspects and knowledge engineering resources online is welcome.
This conference will mainly focus on those theoretical, methodological and practical aspects that show the symbiosis of terminology and knowledge engineering by highlighting the recent advances in these related fields. We invite papers on all aspects of the following topics

I. Terminology and knowledge engineering

Lexicons, thesauri and ontologies as semantic resources
Lexicons and ontologies as means for knowledge transfer
Classification systems and thesauri
Multimodal information management in terminology
Metadata in terminological and knowledge resources
Ontology localization
Multilingual terminology extraction
Terminology alignment in parallel corpora and other lexical resources
Representation of terms and conceptual relations in knowledge-based applications
Comparative studies of terminological resources and/or ontological resources from different languages, domains and approaches
Interoperability and reusability in knowledge-based tools and applications
II. Terminology policies, standards and terminological tools

Terminology in Languages for Specialized Purposes (LSPs)
Terminology and lexicography teaching and learning
Terminology for language planning
Terminological resources in the 21st century
Harmonization of format and standards in terminological resources
Multilinguality and multimodality in terminological resources
Management of language resources
Models and metamodels in annotating semantic resources
Reusing, standardizing and merging terminological or ontological resources
III. Terminology applications

Integrating terminological resources across domains and languages
Applying terminological resources for natural language processing
Developing terminological tools for machine translation
Terminology in financial and business settings
Terminology in e-government and sector standardization
Terminology in health sciences
Terminology in industrial and environmental fields
