“…To devise this methodology, we have drawn on two related works: one for creating multilingual terminological products (Cabré and Tebé 2005) from which we have taken advantage of its general steps, and the other for defining a glossary in the area of interoperability of enterprise applications and software (Velardi et al 2006) from which we have reused and adapted some specific tasks. We have also considered domain knowledge organization, as suggested by the Termontography method (Temmerman and Kerremans 2003).…”

We have created this general process based on the phases proposed by Cabré and Tebé (2005) and we have included some specific tasks keeping in mind the steps proposed by Velardi et al (2006).

“…Therefore, we created our methodology taking as basis some ideas from the research done by Cabré and Tebé (2005) and Nuopponen (2007) for creating multilingual terminological products, and by Velardi et al (2006) for defining a glossary in the area of interoperability of enterprise applications and software, as will be explained in Section 3. To support our methodology, new technologies, in particular wikis, that could allow people geographically distributed to contribute the process, were used.…”

This paper addresses the lack of an explicitly agreed and defined terminology in the ontology engineering field, and particularly, the need for a glossary, which consists of terms and definitions for actions when developing ontologies. The novelty of this paper lies in the precise description of a methodology for building a glossary with the processes and activities involved in ontology development as well as the relations between them (such as subtype, composition and synonym). The methodology proposed in this paper takes its inspiration from ideas taken from earlier research on methodological processes for creating multilingual terminological products and for defining a glossary in a particular domain as well as on domain knowledge organization. The description of our methodology includes the approach followed and the steps carried out, as well as the key issues that arise when the glossary was being created. So far as we are aware, this is the first attempt to normalize the terminology (denominations and definitions) of process and activities in ontology building.

Objectives In general, a terminology shared and agreed by different stakeholders is important to facilitate communication and cooperation. This holds true in the field of vascular ageing for the benefit of global cardiovascular health. The need to promote a common language and understanding across this area was recognised by VascAgeNet, a collaborative network with relevant and diverse expertise in the vascular ageing field, supported by the European Cooperation in Science and Technology. To contribute to the spread of unified terms in the vascular ageing field, a glossary was created by VascAgeNet and this paper describes the systematic process used for its development. Methods An initial list of terms and preliminary definitions were collated from the network. A dedicated team was created to design the glossary development process, to facilitate its implementation and to maximise outreach and dissemination. The key steps of the process were to determine: (1) the target audience; (2) a list of priority terms; (3) a template structure for definitions; (4) methods for collecting feedback and (5) the dissemination plan. Results An implementation strategy was provided for each key step and shared within the network; main decisions were agreed by all members of the glossary team. Small groups of definitions were released on a regular basis within a pilot phase including 19 terms (status: 05.09.2023) that were published openly at https://vascagenet.eu/official-glossary. Conclusions The strategy for creating the first Vascular Ageing Glossary has been successfully designed and developed within VascAgeNet. A pilot phase covering the first publicly available terms was completed. The glossary is a living document, available to the scientific community, which aims to unify the vascular ageing language.

ARTICULATE: A European glossary of terms used in oral health professional education

Introduction:The Erasmus+O-Health-EDU project aims to gain a comprehensive view of oral health professional (OHP) education in Europe, through the development of web-based surveys and online toolkits. A glossary to facilitate a common language through which academic teams could cooperate and communicate more accurately was identified as a key need within the project. The aim of ARTICULATE was thus to create a shared language, with a European focus, for terms and concepts used in the field of OHP education.
