Seminar 8. Activitatea terminologica - standardization - organisms;language planning

Terminology standardizationcan be subdivided into two distinct activities:

standardization of terminologies,

standardization of terminological principles and methods

terminology standardization precedes subject standardization

Beginnings of standardization: - the International lectrotechnical !ommission "I!# - was founded in $ondon, %&'(

following a recommendation passed at the International lectrical !ongress, in )t*

$ouis, +), on % )eptember %&'.

im: to standardize the terminology of electrotechnology for the sa/e of the 0uality of

its subject standards12

re-activated only in %&%

the !ommittee started operation in %&= "after I#* )ince then the secretariat of ISO/TC

37has been held by ustria*

4 sub-committees:

Standardization rel. to terminology!"

Institutional standardization1 a body sets the preferred use for a designation

International standardization1 an international body sets the characteristics that a

product should have and the term"s# appropriate for it

(non-interventionist) standardization1 a terminological system monitors itself by

mutual accord of its end-users

6he >I!E8 will follow these steps to develop the harmonized terminology:

1. Identiy #on#epts and reeren#e terminology"

8etermine the terms that will re0uire harmonization*

Identify which of the terms are uni0ue concepts*

Geference terminology resources to find matching concepts*

). e%elop model"

8evelop a model for concepts as a terminology that depicts concepts and their attributes and

the relationships between concepts*

@repare terminology to be incorporated into a reference terminology, such as the >!I

6hesaurus*

3. Annotate model"

+se terminology curation tools, such as the >!IKs )emantic Integration or/bench ")I# to

annotate the model with the reference terminology*

. *e%ie0 #on#epts 0it, t,e #ommunity"

Inform eAperts in pediatric community of terminology development effort and facilitate

collaboration*

)olicit input and feedbac/ on proposed concepts from the pediatric community and

harmonize with model*

. 2oad metadata and generate tools" $oad metadata from the annotated model to a metadata repository, such as the >!IKs cancer

8ata )tandards Gepository "ca8)G#*

$everage open source clinical research tools to eAtract metadata to generate content specific

clinical research tools*

6he terminology development process includes the following steps:

%* Terminology Planning:

6his phase includes identifying and prioritizing subsets based on >I!E8 scientific visioning

and other initiatives or use cases, identifying clinical research use cases and defining the

scope of the terminology, and identifying and engaging )ubject Catter Aperts ")Cs# to

provide input into the terminology, as described below*

=* Terminology Development:

6he development of the terminology is a collaborative effort, which includes soliciting input

and feedbac/ from )Cs into the proposed concepts, and then resolving conflicts and
