Seminar "Terminology: Fundamentals and Application"
What's it about?
Everyone is talking about terminology work at the company. The importance of the topic is undisputed by many – but when it comes to actively promoting terminology work within the company, it is often difficult.
In this seminar we teach the basics of terminology and terminology databases. In order to be able to use these databases to their full advantage, possible processes for terminology management, maintenance and quality assurance are developed. So that such processes can be integrated into everyday work in an uncomplicated and supportive manner, our main focus is on flexibility and manageability of the developed processes.
