- QUOTE: ECOLEXICON is a multilingual terminological knowledge base (TKB) on the environment. The knowledge base was initially implemented in Spanish, English and German. Currently, three more languages are being added: Modern Greek, Russian and Dutch. So far it has 3,547 concepts and 18,875 terms. It targets different user groups, such as translators, technical writers, environmental experts, etc., who wish to expand their knowledge of the environment for the purpose of text comprehension or generation. These users can freely access EcoLexicon and are able to find the information needed, thanks to a user-friendly visual interface with different modules for conceptual, linguistic, and graphical data. The main and ultimate goal of EcoLexicon is user knowledge acquisition, which can only be achieved if TKBs account for the natural dynamism of knowledge mainly caused by context and multidimensionality.
