DESCRIPTION OF (FR-EN) TERMINOLOGY RESOURCES
Nature of work in progress : terminological databases available on computer disk (subject areas: GEOSCIENCES, 2 960 terms ; HYDROGEOLOGY, 400 terms; SOIL SCIENCE, 450 terms – if required, these blocks of entry terms can be merged with NEOBASE or presented separately as resources in their own right.
Field types: administrative data; antonyms; abbreviations, contexts, cross-references, definitions; examples; grammatical label; local spelling variants; notes; sources; sub-domains; symbols; synonyms.
Extended version of ELRA-T0090 NEWBASE.
The terms were selected and collated by Dr M.S.N. CARPENTER during the course of his translation and editing activities, and cover a wide range of different disciplines within the earth sciences. This database is intended for the use of researchers, translators and technical writers who require a working tool as well as a reliable source of information; the terms have been validated by publication in the scientific literature. Conceived as a bilingual terminological resource, this database may be considered not only as an aid to scientific writing but also as a guide for the training of non-specialist translators. In addition, it is suitable for use in the development of translation memory systems.
Field types: administrative data; antonyms; abbreviations, contexts, cross-references, definitions; examples; grammatical label; local spelling variants; notes; sources; sub-domains areas; symbols; synonyms.
Main subject areas: GEOLOGY; structural geology; geochemistry; stratigraphy; sedimentology; geochronology; geophysics; seismology; physical geography; petrography; palaeontology; volcanology; marine geology; hydrogeology.
The database contains the following information
