Visualizing Conceptual Relations in Legal Terminology

Abstract

Underlying all specialized terminology is a concept system, which is particularly important in the legal domain. However, this concept system is not explicitly available in terminology management systems. We present a tool that analyzes the relations in a terminological database and presents an interactive visualization of those relations. This tool helps terminologists manage their information, including quality assurance and analysis of the information, as well as aiding in didactic presentations of terminology work.
