Conference theme

The professional responsible for designing and populating terminological resources is the terminographer. Producing new terminological resources requires eclectic research skills. The design and implementation phases involve a thorough preliminary analysis of the information needs of the potential user and an accurate assessment of the structural requirements of the resource.
In this context, the second international conference on “Digital terminology today. Design, representation formats and management systems” aims to bring together specialists in the disciplines of terminology, terminography, computational terminology, specialized lexicography, computational linguistics, NLP, in order to share methodological reflections on design approaches, representation formats and management systems of the digital terminology collected in the terminological resources.
In particular, the conference is organized around the following areas:

  • Analysis of the information needs of the future user of the resource
  • Assessment of structural design approaches for terminological data collections
  • Study of terminological metadata and data representation formats
  • Methods of validating the ergonomics of a resource


The provisional agenda of the conference is:

  • February 10, 2023: deadline for submitting the camera ready version of the paper
  • March 10, 2023: publication of provisional program
  • April 5, 2023: publication of final program
  • May 31st, 2023: Early-bird registration (end)
  • From June 1st until June 18, 2023: Regular registration
  • From June 19th, 2023: Late-registration registration

Prof Lynne Bowker

University of Ottawa, Ottawa, Canada

Titre : La multidimensionnalité dans la terminologie : Vers la découverte de nouveaux concepts ou vers un multivers de la folie ?

Résumé : Dans la discipline de la terminologie, la multidimensionnalité est un phénomène qui se produit lorsqu’un concept peut être classifié selon deux (ou plusieurs) caractéristiques à la fois. La multidimensionnalité ressemble davantage à la réalité, mais le traitement de ce phénomène est complexe, ce qui explique le peu d’attention manifesté par les premiers terminologues. Depuis les années 1990, les outils informatiques offrent une multitude de possibilités pour intégrer des systèmes de concepts complexes dans les ressources terminologiques. Toutefois, ces systèmes très complexes sont-ils toujours souhaitables ? Ou présentent-ils une surcharge d’informations ? Dans cette conférence, on explorera le passé, le présent et l’avenir de la multidimensionnalité en terminologie.

Biographie : Lynne Bowker est professeure titulaire à l’Université d’Ottawa (Canada) où elle détient une double affectation à l’École de traduction et d’interprétation et l’École des sciences de l’information. En 2020, elle était élue membre de la Société Royale du Canada pour ses contributions au domaine des technologies langagières. Ses activités d’enseignement et de recherche portent sur la terminologie, la lexicographie, la terminotique, la traduction spécialisée et les technologies de la traduction. Elle est (co-) auteur de plusieurs livres, dont Computer-Aided Translation Technology (2002), Working with Specialized Language (2002), Machine Translation and Global Research (2019), et De-mystifying Translation (2023). Elle est membre du comité de rédaction de plusieurs revues spécialisées (p. ex. International Journal of Lexicography, International Journal of Corpus Linguistics), ainsi que traductrice agréée (français-anglais).


Prof. Liana Ermakova

Université de Bretagne-Occidentale, France

Title: Identification and contextualization of difficult scientific terms

Abstract: The general public tends to avoid reliable sources such as scientific literature due to their complex language and lacking background knowledge. While traditional methods of text simplification try to eliminate complex concepts, scientific terms are not often replaceable due to the risk of information distortion and these complex concepts should be explained to a reader. In this talk, I will present the overview of the CLEF SimpleText shared task aiming to identify scientific terms that require explanation and to provide this context in order to help a reader to understand the scientific text.

Biography: Liana Ermakova has been an associate professor at the University of Western Brittany (Brest, France) since 2017. Her primary area of research is automatic text simplification, multi-document summarisation, and multilingual wordplay analysis. She is the principal investigator of the SimpleText project: Automatic Simplification of Scientific texts. She has participated in the organization of various conferences and workshops and is a member of the competition division of the French Association for Artificial Intelligence. Dr. Ermakova leads two shared tasks at CLEF which aim at the creation of reusable benchmarks for automatic wordplay analysis (JOKER) and scientific text simplification (SimpleText). .
