Workshop
Exchange of Lexical and Terminological Resources in Machine Translation (MT),Computer-Aided Translation (CAT) and Terminology Management Systems (TMS)
Friday, June 17, 2005, University of Applied Sciences, Köthen
The use of CAT tools has become standard practice in the daily work of translators and localisers. As terminological and lexical resources are crucial for high quality translation the development of lexicon and terminology exchange formats has become an important issue. Exchange formats which facilitate the sharing of lexicons and terminologies make a significant contribution to the management and quality assurance in large translation projects.
Over the last years, various open XML-based standards such as OLIF (Open Lexicon Interchange Format) or XLT (XML representation of Lexicons and Terminologies") have been developed for the exchange of lexicons. Among the standards which have been proposed on the terminological side, are formats such als MARTIF (Machine-Readable Terminology Interchange Format) or TBX (Term Base Exchange).
Nevertheless, many vendors of MT or CAT tools still use proprietary formats for the export and import of lexical or terminological data.
The current workshop aims to bring together developers, MT users, translators and localisers who are interested in the integration of lexical and terminological resources.
We welcome contributions to the following topics:
· lexicon exchange formats and their support in different software packages
· import and export formats in MT systems (PT, PROMT, T1 etc.)
· import and export formats in terminology management systems (Multiterm, TermStar etc.)
· tools for converting lexical resources between diffferent formats
· experiences of translators or MT-users with the integration of lexical resources
If you are interested in participating in the workshop please submit an abstract (approx. 250 words) stating the title of your presentation to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Presentations will be allotted 15 – 30 minutes.
Submission deadline: April 30, 2005 Registration deadline: May 30, 2005 Participation at the conference is free
