Terminological resources play a central role in the organization and retrieval of scientific texts. Both simple keyword lists and advanced modelings of relationships between terminological concepts can make a most valuable contribution to the analysis, classification, and finding of appropriate digital documents, either on the web or within local repositories. This seems especially true for long-established scientific fields with elusive theoretical and historical branches, where the use of terminology within documents from different origins is often far from being consistent. In this paper, we report on the progress of a linguistically motivated project on the onomasiological re-modeling of the terminological resources for the grammatical information system grammis. We present the design principles and the results of their application. In particular, we focus on new features for the authoring backend and discuss how these innovations help to evaluate existing, loosely structured terminological content, as well as to efficiently deal with automatic term extraction. Furthermore, we introduce a transformation to a future SKOS representation. We conclude with a positioning of our resources with regard to the Knowledge Organization discourse and discuss how a highly complex information environment like grammis benefits from the re-designed terminological KOS.
The present submission reports on a pilot project conducted at the Institute for the German Language (IDS), aiming at strengthening the connection between ISO TC37SC4 “Language Resource Management” and the CLARIN infrastructure. In terminology management, attempts have recently been made to use graph-theoretical analyses to get a better understanding of the structure of terminology resources. The project described here aims at applying some of these methods to potentially incomplete concept fields produced over years by numerous researchers serving as experts and editors of ISO standards. The main results of the project are twofold. On the one hand, they comprise concept networks dynamically generated from a relational database and browsable by the user. On the other, the project has yielded significant qualitative feedback that will be offered to ISO. We provide the institutional context of this endeavour, its theoretical background, and an overview of data preparation and tools used. Finally, we discuss the results and illustrate some of them.
In this paper, we present our approach to automatically extracting German terminology in the domain of grammar using texts from the online information system grammis as our corpus. We analyze existing repositories of German grammatical terminology and develop Part-of-speech patterns for our extraction thereby showing the importance of unigrams in this domain. We contrast the results of the automatic extraction with a manually extracted standard. By comparing the performance of well-known statistical measures, we show how measures based on corpus comparison outperform alternative methods.
Im Rahmen einer zur Zeit stattfindenden Umgestaltung der Inhalte und der Benutzeroberfläche des Online-Portals grammis hat sich eine Projektgruppe konstituiert, die es sich zur Aufgabe gemacht hat, das am IDS vorhandene Terminologiesystem zur Grammatik des Deutschen zu überarbeiten und zu erweitern: Dies betrifft zum einen die Überarbeitung und Erweiterung des Terminologieinventars, aber auch die zugrundeliegende methodische Grundlage und technische Infrastruktur. Zum Verständnis dieses Vorhabens sollen zunächst die vorhandenen Vorarbeiten und Grundlagen vorgestellt werden.
The compilation of terminological vocabularies plays a central role in the organization and retrieval of scientific texts. Both simple keyword lists as well as sophisticated modellings of relationships between terminological concepts can make a most valuable contribution to the analysis, classification, and finding of appropriate digital documents, either on the Web or within local repositories. This seems especially true for long-established scientific fields with various theoretical and historical branches, such as linguistics, where the use of terminology within documents from different origins is sometimes far from being consistent. In this short paper, we report on the early stages of a project that aims at the re-design of an existing domain-specific KOS for grammatical content grammis. In particular, we deal with the terminological part of grammis and present the state-of-the-art of this online resource as well as the key re-design principles. Further, we propose questions regarding ramifications of the Linked Open Data and Semantic Web approaches for our re-design decisions.
Grammis is a web-based information system on German grammar, hosted by the Institute for the German Language (IDS). It is human-oriented and features different theoretical perspectives on grammar. Currently, the terminology component of grammis is being redesigned for this theoretical diversity to play a more prominent role in the data model. This also opens opportunities for implementing some machine-oriented features. In this paper, we present the re-design of both data model and knowledge base. We explore how the addition of machine-oriented features to the data model impacts the knowledge base; in particular, how this addition shifts some of the textual complexity into the data model. We show that our resource can easily be ported to a SKOS-XL representation, which makes it available for data science, knowledge-based NLP applications, and LOD in the context of digital humanities.
Kann man den Sprachgebrauch in einer Gruppe verändern? Und wenn ja, wie? In Politik und Wirtschaft sind schlüssige Antworten auf diese Fragen von großem Interesse. Karolina Suchowolec findet sie, indem sie den aktuellen Forschungsstand zu Sprachplanung, Plansprachen, Kontrollierten Sprachen und Terminologiearbeit analysiert, die Erkenntnisse auf ihre mögliche Verallgemeinerung hin prüft und daraus Sprachlenkung als einen übergreifenden linguistischen Forschungsgegenstand ableitet. Dessen praktische Umsetzung hat sie empirisch untersucht. Im Ergebnis formuliert sie eine Übersicht zu den Herausforderungen der Sprachlenkung sowie zu in der Literatur postulierten Lösungsansätzen – eine solide Grundlage für die weitere theoretische Forschung sowie Hilfestellung für die praktische Sprachlenkung.
Terminology practice in companies and its methods evolved over the course of the years. This process can be seen as a broadening of methods rather than a paradigm change. Although this development led to an improvement in the practice, many crucial problems still remain unsolved. In this article I point out the open questions in the current methodology and argue why they are essential for the success of terminology projects. Also, I present how these questions can be addressed by embedding the terminology in a broader discourse of language management and social psychology.
In our paper, we present a case study on the quality of concept relations in the manually developed terminological resource of grammis, an information system on German grammar. We assess a SKOS representation of the resource using the tool qSKOS, create a typology of the issues identified by the tool, and conduct a qualitative analysis of selected cases. We identify and discuss aspects that can motivate quality issues and uncover that ill-formed relations are frequently indicative of deeper issues in the data model. Finally, we outline how these findings can inform improvements in our resource’s data model, discussing implications for the machine readability of terminological data.
Terminologiearbeit im wirtschaftlichen Kontext geht von zwei Arbeitsphasen aus: einer umfassenden deskriptiven Phase, in der die Begriffsstruktur und der aktuelle Terminologiegebrauch erfasst, aber noch nicht bewertet werden, sowie einer präskriptiven Phase, in der der eigentliche Standardisierungseingriff erfolgt. In der Praxis wird die deskriptive Phase oft reduziert und der Schwerpunkt unmittelbar auf die Präskription gelegt. In unserem Beitrag diskutieren wir das Potenzial, das eine ausführliche deskriptive Terminologiearbeit zur Verbesserung der Wissenskommunikation im Rahmen des Wissensmanagements birgt. Am Beispiel eines wissenschaftlichen Projektes im Bereich Grammatik des Deutschen zeigen wir, wie diese eng an der Theorie orientierte Ausgestaltung der Deskription in der Praxis aussieht, welche Herausforderungen sie mit sich bringt und wie ihre Ergebnisse das Wissensmanagement unterstützen können.
