Research output: Contribution to journalConference articlepeer-review

Abstract

Subject fields play an essential role in terminological resources by allowing for the creation of semantically-based subdivisions in addition to acting as a conceptual boundary for the principle of univocity. However, due to the lack of guidelines and standards, their application in termbases risks being ad-hoc, which reduces their effectiveness in achieving these goals. ISO TC/37 has published a technical specification (TS) aimed to increase the rigour of subject-field use and the interoperability of the data. This paper describes some issues and challenges relating to subject-fields in termbases and how the TS may resolve them.
