TS 1198-2 ISO 1087-2

TS 1198-2 ISO 1087-2 is the Turkish record of a standard devoted to computer applications within terminology work and terminography. It addresses the language and information-processing side of terminological activity, focusing on how terminology data are represented, processed, and used across different applications.

Terminology and terminography in context

Terminology work deals systematically with concepts in a subject field and the terms used to designate them. Terminography is concerned with collecting and presenting those terms in dictionaries, databases, glossaries, and information systems. Computer applications matter here because storing, searching, matching, updating, and managing terminology in multilingual environments is often software-supported.

Technical focus of this part

This part covers terms for language and information processing as used in terminology work and terminography. In general technical context, that connects with data structures, encoding, retrieval, indexing, translation-support workflows, and terminology-based information systems. The listing itself does not restate clause-by-clause requirements; it provides the shared vocabulary used in this field.

• Computer-assisted terminology management helps handle large term sets consistently.
• Terminography aims to present terms with context and usage information, not just as isolated labels.
• Language and information processing provide a basic framework for multilingual term matching and consistency.
• The standard’s subject is the common language used to describe concepts in terminology work.
