Scope and objectives of the action:

The eTranslation TermBank action aims at providing new Terminological Resources (TRs) to the language resource pipeline of CEF eTranslation for three sector-specific domains: health, business legislation and customer protection to support the CEF DSIs: eHealth, e-Justice and Online Dispute Resolution. A minimum of 150 TRs covering all official languages of the EU plus Norwegian and Icelandic will be provided by the end of the action.  In addition to Estonian terminological resources, our task is to collect also the terminological resources of the Czech Republic and the Republic of Malta.

 

Definition of a terminological resource in the context of the project:

·         Bilingual/multilingual terminological collection in a given domain

·         So far not open i.e. not available for download under open license (cf. IATE)

·         Collected and provided TRs comply with the ELRC Validation Guidelines

·         Clear licensing status: according to standard and national open licences strongly advised by ELRC

·         Specific domains – mandatory: health, business legislation, consumer protection; optional: cyber security, social security

·         Languages: 24 EU + Norwegian and Icelandic

·         For specific digital public services: eHealth, e‑Justice, Open Dispute Resolution

 

Outcomes:

·         150 terminological resources for official languages of the EU plus Norwegian and Icelandic

·         “Terminology for Europe” network for sustainable cooperation with CEF eTranslation

·         Pipeline of terminological resources flow to CEF eTranslation

·         Directory of entities dealing with terminology on national level
