Dépouillement terminologique assisté par ordinateur de sites Web spécialisés

Abstract

Every day, we can witness the growing importance of Internet. A substantial amount of Web sites host interesting terminological information dealing with specialised subjects but have yet to be the object of a literature search. The online booking field, to name but one of many subject areas whose realizations are mainly on the Internet, can only be searched by using an array of specialised tools. During the development of a glossary on e-booking, jointly achieved with the Office québécois de la langue française and Amex Canada Inc., we adapted the traditional work process methods to retrieve and manage data found on the Web. In this article, we will start by presenting the distinctiveness of our field of study and the methodology we used to complete our method. We will then analyse the impact such an approach can have on the terminologists’ work.
