Abstract

We intend to reflect on the problems encountered and methods applied when trying to represent multilingual and culture-specific knowledge in a terminological database which is set up to provide multilingual input for ontology engineers. The database consists of terminological information referring to units of understanding in the domain of value added tax. This database could be one of the main resources for the multilingual refinement within the DOGMA ontology engineering framework. We focus on how the method, called termontography, adds to the representation of multilingual and culture-specific knowledge in a European VAT regulatory ontology. What we propose is a unit of understanding approach which starts from a language-independent domain-specific framework arrived at with the help of domain specialists.
