Abstract

This short paper addresses the problem of consolidating European multilingual terminology resources across languages and domains. In the intro-duction section we identify the task and the necessity of a consolidated interface for different; usually dispersed; multilingual terminology resources. In the second section we give examples of state-of-the-art approaches to the solution of this task – the Quest tool and the EuroTermBank portal. The third section presents a brief overview and reports on midterm results (achieved during the first year of the project) of an on-going research on consolidating European multi-lingual terminology resources as part of the ICT PSP EU project META-NORD within the META-NET initiative and the META-SHARE open linguistic infrastructure. Finally; we make conclusions and outline future work.
