Project Details
Description
Project partner of Euroterm. The main objective of the proposed preparatory action was to offer public sector information in different languages beyond the mere homogeneous linguistic community it originates from. The extension of the EuroWordNet and the Inter-Lingual-Index records with public sector terminology aims at providing the infrastructure for facilitating access of European citizens and enterprises to public sector information. The action’s actual purpose was to combine effectively multilingual domain specific information into a common lexical database through a Terminology Alignment System, lowering this way the barriers across European languages. Another main goal of the preparatory action was to explore how such a multilingual lexical database could facilitate access to environmental information and contribute to the development and use of the European digital content. On a longer term we expect that the domain specific terminology incorporated into the EuroWordNet multilingual database will open up a whole new range of services in Europe at a trans-national level.
