9th Open Forum for Metadata Registry, Kobe, 2006 ISO 12620:1999 Computer Assisted Terminology — Data Categories –Too many data categories –Commonly used data categories scattered through the standard Application areas –Official term banks, language planning organizations, standards organizations –Major corporations, small and medium businesses –Individual terminologists, translators, and technical writers –Localization industry –Government agencies
10
9th Open Forum for Metadata Registry, Kobe, 2006 Accessibility Issues Need for clear guidance on application- specific use of the data categories Thematic categorization in 12620:1999 No recommended sample sets Issue of data modeling variance Alphabetical ordering in the new on-line version Addition of data categories for other language resources
11
9th Open Forum for Metadata Registry, Kobe, 2006 Global Data Category Registry (DCR) Difficulty in achieving consensus on logical ordering Addition of new working environments in TC 37 –Lexicography –Morpho-syntactic markup –Semantic markup –NLP lexicons –SKOS environment

14
9th Open Forum for Metadata Registry, Kobe, 2006 Classification Criteria Monolingual and multilingual Specialized design or off-the-shelf software Constraints involving data input, storage, retrieval, and information output Needs of various stakeholders Related resources –Thesauri, taxonomies, and ontologies –Semantic Web environments
15
9th Open Forum for Metadata Registry, Kobe, 2006 Criteria for a Guide to Terminological Data Categories Replacement for ISO/TR 12618:1994, Computer aides in terminology – Creation and use of terminological databases Variation in database structures –Simple glosses –Translation-oriented terminology management –Complex multi-application approaches
16
9th Open Forum for Metadata Registry, Kobe, 2006 Basic Data Category Groups terms (including all source-language synonyms and equivalents in other languages) classification of term types (e.g., synonyms, variants, full and abbreviated forms) term-related information (grammar, etymology, register, status) descriptive information definitions, contexts examples, notes, and graphic information administrative information identifiers of various sorts dates, responsibility entry status sources, combinable with terms themselves, definitions, contexts, notes, and other pieces of information
17
9th Open Forum for Metadata Registry, Kobe, 2006 Other Guides to Data Category Selection ISO 10241:1992 (and revision), Preparation and layout of international terminology standards –Primarily standards-oriented ISO 12616:2002, Translation-oriented terminography –Traditional format, main-entry-term-oriented –Not focused on the principle of term autonomy –Issues with granularity and data element elementarity
18
9th Open Forum for Metadata Registry, Kobe, 2006 Issues for a New Guide Data modeling variance and term autonomy n conjunction with the application of the closed data category termType Locating data categories throughout the collection –Locating non-standard synonymic data category names for standardized names (use for … ) Providing sample “ common ” data category layouts –Overcoming “ presentational distance ” between different data category groups
19
9th Open Forum for Metadata Registry, Kobe, 2006 Translation-Related Dat-Cats False friend Degree of equivalence Transfer comment –Anchor at language or term-section level Directionality
20
9th Open Forum for Metadata Registry, Kobe, 2006 Standardization & Language Planning Term status (preferred, admitted, deprecated) –Regulated terms (legal regulations) –Suggested terms Process status (of the term entry itself) Administrative status (of term planning phase)
21
9th Open Forum for Metadata Registry, Kobe, 2006 Links and Relations Terminological concept systems Controlled vocabularies (thesauri, etc.) Classification systems Ontologies and taxonomies –Expression in SKOS (Simple Knowledge Organization System markup) Distinction between generic systems –Subsumation, is-a relations … and non-generic, non-subsumation systems –Meronymic (partitive) relations –All other relations
22
9th Open Forum for Metadata Registry, Kobe, 2006 Links to Other Entries & Objects Internal links to other entries –Antonym –Entailed term –See –See also –Concept system links Links to other objects –Corpus trace (link to term in context) –Concordance links –Shared resource links, etc. –Sources & source identifiers
