LEXIK. An integrated system for specialized terminology

Abstract

The paper presents LEXIK, an intelligent terminological architecture that is able to efficiently obtain specialized lexical resources for elaborating dictionaries and providing lexical support for different expert tasks. LEXIK is designed as a powerful tool to create a rich knowledge base for lexicography. It will process big amounts of data in a modular system, that combines several applications and techniques for terminology extraction, definition generation, example extraction and term banks, that have been partially developed so far. Such integration is a challenge for the area, which lacks an integrated system for extracting and defining terms from a non-preprocessed corpus.
