Terminology databases and dictionaries
Termbases are systematised and quality-ensured collections of terms and expressions within specific domains. In addition to possessing substantial databases, we have developed software for editing, publication and internet search, links to document databases, thesaurus building and term extraction. In some cases the termbases and dictionaries include foreign character sets such as Tamil (with 247 characters) and Sorani, which is based on Arabic charaters and is written right-to-left.

Based on these resources, we develop dictionaries with tailormade editing and search functions, using net-based interfaces to multiple user environments, and including text and illustrations.
