Abstract
This article introduces the Helsinki Term Bank for the Arts and Sciences (HTB), as an innovative case of a terminology
project which constructs a database of scholarly terms by offering a multidisciplinary platform for collaborative terminology work and
niche-sourcing at the wiki-based internet platform. Moreover, the HTB is theorised as an Information Infrastructure (II) to present and
dissect how a particular set of values is embedded and woven into the HTB’s design and structure. Analysing the results of the two surveys
aimed at the users and experts of the HTB in 2019, the article discusses how these values are transforming and evolving further in the HTB’s
multidimensional network of actors.
期刊介绍:
Terminology is an independent journal with a cross-cultural and cross-disciplinary scope. It focusses on the discussion of (systematic) solutions not only of language problems encountered in translation, but also, for example, of (monolingual) problems of ambiguity, reference and developments in multidisciplinary communication. Particular attention will be given to new and developing subject areas such as knowledge representation and transfer, information technology tools, expert systems and terminological databases. Terminology encompasses terminology both in general (theory and practice) and in specialized fields (LSP), such as physics.
