Information processing applications are increasingly based on terminology resources that must be made available in digital form. This requires that terms and concepts are represented in computer-friendly formats, taking into account the relevant norms and standards. Such a representation is based on specific methods and software environments, which requires terminology work to be adapted accordingly.
