1.3.10. Key Points

Here are some key points to remember:

• terminology work includes both systematic and ad hoc activities.
• The results of term extraction and terminology research findings are collected by concept for analysis, then synthesized in the form of terminological entries such as terminology records in a database.
• In some cases, terminology standardization committees review concept-based terminology case files and agree on preferred terms by consensus.
• An appropriate means of managing and disseminating the results of terminology work must be adopted.
