Linguistic terminology extraction
Since January 2024, LookUp has offered an innovative function for linguistic terminology extraction. Based on defined grammatical patterns such as noun, adjective + noun, or noun + noun, the search algorithm scans loaded files (text, Word, or PDF) for corresponding term candidates and word groups. By integrating a stop word list, frequently occurring, non-terminological words such as “always” or “the” can be ignored, which makes the extraction more precise.
After extraction, the terms are compared with the entries in the database using the lemmatised form (basic form). The user then has the option of selecting the relevant terminology candidates and importing them into the LookUp terminology database at the touch of a button. Optionally, sentence examples can also be imported to illustrate the use of the term.
This innovative function makes terminology work much faster and more efficient, making LookUp an indispensable tool for those working in the technical communication industry.
Knowledge-based terminology work in teaching
Academic Partner Program of D.O.G. GmbH
Familiarize your students with innovative technologies in terminology management
Terminology occupies an important place in most courses of study for technical writers/editors, translators/translators, or related professions.
D.O.G. Dokumentation ohne Grenzen GmbH would like to give universities and colleges the opportunity to use a field-tested and innovative terminology management system in the classroom at special conditions with its academic program.
The cloud-based terminology management system LookUp
LookUpis a next-generation, intelligent, cloud-based terminology management system with a knowledge component. With LookUp, users can capture, manage and provide their terminology. LookUp is concept-oriented, i.e. synonymous designations are combined under a common concept.
LookUp allows you to freely design your data model and has a variety of functions and features that make working with terminology easier: extensive import and export formats, creation of user groups with different rights, an advanced search function or a powerful filter function.
Knowledge can be created through individual relations. For example, the concepts university – teacher – teaching – degree – student can be linked with relations such as “leads_to”, “is_part_of”, and so on. The graphical concept maps that can be created with LookUp are an efficient tool for students in the classroom.
LookUp is used by technical writers, technical translators and knowledge workers. It has an API for integration with other applications and can be used together with SDL Studio or MemoQ.
Special conditions for universities and colleges
D.O.G. GmbH would like to support universities in their knowledge and terminology work and offers the following conditions:
- Discount of 70% off the list price. There is no minimum usage period, and usage can be terminated at the end of any usage month. For teaching purposes, we recommend the Premium version with the reduced price of 171,- Euro per month or 2,052,- Euro per year.
