Kyo Kageura, National Institute of Informatics, Japan.
Hiroshi Nakagawa, Information Technology Center, The University of
  Tokyo, Japan.

Scope and Background:

COMPUTERM'02: Second Workshop on Computational Terminology invites a
wide range of papers on substantial, original and unpublished research
on all aspects of computational terminology related areas, including,
but not limited to:
 Basic computational terminology
 - structuring of terminology, such as construction of terminological
   thesaurus, establishing semantic relations, conceptual organisation, etc.
 - bilingual/multilingual terminology alignment/management and translation
   extraction
 - terminology extraction
 - terminology resource management
 Linguistic aspects of terminology with computational consideration
 - terms and compounding
 - terms and collocations
 - various linguistic aspects of term variations and use
 Applications
 - domain-dependent IE/NE tasks with reference to terms and terminology,
   such as the treatment of Biology or Medical concept/nomenclature.
 - IR/indexing with domain-dependent lexical perspectives
 - encoding terminology-related information and resources
 - document structuring through terminological information, e.g. making
   hypertext through terminological links, etc.
Purely linguistic topics with no relation to computational aspects and
purely application topics without any relation to terms and terminology
as linguistic entity (e.g. n-gram based IR) are out of the scope of
the workshop.

COMPUTERM'02 is the second COLING workshop devoted to computational
terminology. The first, very successful, workshop was held at the
occasion of COLING/ACL'98 at Montreal, Canada in 1998. Selected
papers in the first COMPUTERM'98 workshop were published in Recent
Advances in Computational Terminology (John Benjamins).
