Summary

Handbooks, articles in scientific and professional journals, university theses, and terminology standards provide terminologists and term base administrators with general principles, methods and guidelines for managing terminological data. Terminological meta models (ISO 16642:2003), data categories (ISO 12620:2009) and exchange formats (ISO 30074:2008) reflect established principles such as concept orientation and term autonomy, and help terminologists to design, implement, maintain and use terminology management systems.

The paper discusses the needs for terminology management in a globalized industry and the benefits of adequate and consistent terminology as a major success factor for corporate language and corporate communication. Although the basic principles of terminology management are still valid within this application scenario, specific needs and recommendations for the management of terms have to be taken into account if terminology is considered along the whole value chain of information and content creation.
