Terminology planning is an activity that is carried out by many institutions, organizations or communities for an array of purposes.
Lexical expansion is an important component of language corpus planning. However, its horizontal cross-departmental character, its complexity, and the fact that certain domains are not following the rules of general language often require terminology planning being treated as a separate discipline or activity. It reaches beyond language planning when it involves non-linguistic concept representations (formulas, pictograms, audiovisual signals, etc.).
Terminology planning is often connected with terminology standardization activities. It can take place at different levels – from local to international.
Terminology planning increasingly gains importance in corporate language planning and management.
Infoterm is a centre of expertise in the field of terminology planning policies.
