4.6.5. Key Points

Here are some key points to remember:

• term extraction can be done manually, but the results eventually need to be transcribed for the terminology management system.
• term extraction may be performed with the assistance of the computer, in which case you identify the candidate terms for extraction.
• term extraction may be performed with an automated tool that prepares a list of all candidate terms based on a statistical or statistical/syntactic/morphological analysis, in which case you review the results afterwards and retain only those candidates that you feel are useful.
