  1. Leveraging XLT: (Web-Enabled) Validation of Terminology Collections Lee Gillam, University of Surrey SALT Workshop, Antwerp 31 January 2001

  2. Surrey-EU project history • Terminology Extraction and Management Projects: TWB, TWBII • Management of Text Collections: TRANSTERM • Term Resources: POINTER • Terminology Validation: INTERVAL • Convergence in SALT?

  3. XLT ‘opportunities’ • Complete terminology collections available in XML – enhancement/reuse of other collections • Large number of (multilingual) terms – difficult for humans to appraise • Terminology relates to usage – document collections highly relevant • Quantity of terms – no guarantee of quality

  4. (Web-Enabled) Validation • Relevant documents on the web – contextual information • Relevant documents on the ‘corporate internet’ – contextual information • Term usage in other organisations (glossaries)/as understood by Joe E.C. Taxpayer • Resource enrichment

  5. System Description • For a given (D)XLT collection of terminology: • Partition collection by specific criteria • Collect documents relevant to criteria • Analyse documents against the partitioned collection • Report results

  6. System Description • Partition collection by specific criteria: • Use of ‘Xpath’ • “Give me all terms in English” • //dxlt/text/body/termEntry/langSet[@lang = ‘en’]/ntig/termGrp/term/text() • Alternative example: “Give me all subjectFields” • //dxlt/text/body/termEntry/descrip[@type=‘subjectField’]/text() [check!]

  7. System Description • Collect documents relevant to criteria • For terms, try internet/intranet searching • For subject field classifications, classification documents will be relevant • For definitions, comparisons with other glossaries may provide useful validating information • …..

  8. System Description • Analyse documents against the partitioned collection • Are the terms contained in the documents? • Are the terms in the documents now used as parts of compounds? • What are the contexts in which the terms are used? • Are there a number of potential other definitions for a particular term? • Does this fit in with a specific classification? • ….

  9. System Description • Report Results • Term frequency – Zero? • Potential compounds • Contexts • Definitions • Correctly classified • …..

Aberration of light due to the rotation of the earth on its axis is termed diurnal aberration.

  20. Outlook • Initial Results show promise for Validation of Terminological Resources • significant development work is still required. • XPath generation needs tailoring to specific formats (DXLT), but provides useful power • Development to merge ‘Web glossaries’ – pre-terminological validation stage • Provide a powerful prototype of the capabilities for the (Web-Enabled) Validation of Terminology Collections – with DXLT-related formats. • DXLT as the de facto standard format for Terminology Validation?
