terminologicznotechniczne

Terminologicznotechniczne is a portmanteau commonly used to describe the intersection of terminology work and technical domains. While not a standard label in every handbook, it signals an area focused on creating, organizing, and applying vocabulary within technology-intensive fields.

The scope encompasses the development and management of technical terms, definitions, and the relationships among them. It covers glossaries, term banks, and controlled vocabularies; alignment of terms across languages; and ensuring consistency in manuals, product documentation, software interfaces, and help resources. This work supports clear communication among engineers, manufacturers, translators, and end users.

Key concepts include term extraction, definition drafting, and concept modeling, as well as the creation of thesauri or concept systems that structure broader and narrower terms, related terms, and part–whole relationships. Representation formats often rely on standardized frameworks such as SKOS (Simple Knowledge Organization System) and, in some cases, OWL for more formal ontologies. Standards from bodies like ISO—such as ISO 704 (terminology work principles) and ISO 12620 (terminology data categories)—inform methods and exchange of terminological data. Terminology management systems and glossary tools are commonly employed to organize terms, track revisions, and support workflows involving subject-matter experts and translators.

Applications of terminologicznotechniczne include technical documentation, user interfaces, software localization, product development, and regulatory compliance. The field emphasizes accuracy, consistency, multilingual interoperability, and up-to-date maintenance as technology and standards evolve. Challenges include rapid terminology changes, domain specificity, polysemy and synonymy, and governance across organizations and languages.
