Autor: Felix Sasaki This article summarizes the state of linked-data in the realm of terminology. We will first describe what the linked-data paradigm is and which general application areas have emerged so far. We will then move from general considerations with regards to terminology to specific applications. These are often based on the linked-data format OntoLex, a de facto standard for representing terminology information as linked-data. Finally, we will describe emerging terminology applications relying on linked-data.

One of the work packages in this project is designed to provide domain knowledge and easy access to multilingual terminology. We report on the results of this project now that the initial phase has been completed.
