[From: Overcoming the language barrier, 3-6 May 1977, vol.1 (München: Verlag Dokumentation, 1977)] 153 A TERMINOLOGY DATA BANK FOR TRANSLATORS METHODS OF INTERROGATION IN THE TEAM SYSTEM

The TEAM system was developed in the Language Services Department of Siemens in Munich. The core of the system, which is intended to provide machine aids to translation, is a multilingual terminology data bank, in which information of different nature, origin and quality is stored and processed. The aim is to make this information available in a suitable form to translators and other interested parties. This paper discusses the stored terminology data as well as some aspects of their retrieval, in particular the following two interrogation methods: 1) interactive interrogation and access methods via terminals and 2) automatic interrogation, i.e. the processing of machine-readable texts, for instance with a view to the automatic production of glossaries.
