Flexible Technologies to Visualize and Transform Terminological Representations Modelling Representations instead of Programming using Smalltalk

Abstract

LDV FORUM Abstract Th is paper discusses a software design approach to allow interchange of linguistic data. It focuses on the modelling of the linguistic concepts represented in the data and describes the transfer between exchange formats as a multi-tier interpretation/generation. Th ese concepts are implemented in Smalltalk, a programming environment enabling fl exible conversion of data between formats supported by Terminology Management Systems (TMS).
