Large terminologies tend to contain many inconsistencies on different linguistic levels. Mostly the multilingual inconsistencies are discussed for translation means, but monolingual inconsistencies introducing different variants of the same term cause already a large amount of problems during manual or automatic use of the terminology. The present article concentrates on monolingual inconsisten...

Traditional methods for bilingual terminology compilation exploit parallel texts, while the more recent ones have focused on comparable corpora. We use bilingual corpora collected from the web and tailor made for the seed terms. For each language, we extract from the c...

Controlled medical terminologies (CMTs) are playing central roles in clinical information systems and medical knowledge resource applications. As these terminologies grow, they are able to support more complex tasks but require more intensive efforts to create and maintain them. Several terminologies are evolving into knowledge bases of medical concepts. The knowledge they include is being used...
