Towards Creating a National Term bank: The Case of Mongolian Terminology

<title>Abstract</title> The goal of terminology work is to record and organize the meaning and usage of specialized terms and to make available in various terminological resources like (online) termbases, specialized lexicography, and glossaries to use them in texts, translation, and specialized discourse. The present paper examines the content of the <italic>Online Database of Key Scientific Terms</italic>, aiming to enhance it and create a national term bank. Terminology entries in the termbase checked to evaluate whether they meet the formal criteria of terminology standards. The study identifies some issues such as incorrect, incomplete, improper, and inconsistent entries occurring in the termbase. Thus, the paper emphasizes the importance of continuing to evaluate the termbase’s terminology entries in terms of quality assurance and highlights the need for a concept-based approach and consistent modeling of terminographic components, specifically the hierarchy of domain labels. We discuss the results of the study and conclude with perspectives for future work.
