Abstract

We start from a brief discussion of three shifts which have affected the discipline of terminology over the
last decade: the shift towards computational terminology management, the linguistic shift in the theory of
terminology and more recently the ontology shift. We briefly introduce the method of termontography, one
of the results of the collaboration between terminologists from CVC Brussels and ontology engineers
within the framework of the European project FF POIROT (IST 2001-38248).
The discipline of terminology is widening its scope towards knowledge representation and knowledge
management. On the one hand reflection is needed on how the discipline of terminology can contribute to
new challenges like the(multilingual) semantic web. On the other hand we need to ask how terminology
management can benefit from new developments in IT and NL processing, and more specifically how
terminology management can use ontologies.
