Customizing the Terminology Extractor

Fine-tune the terminology extracted automatically from your TextBases.

Procedure

  1. From the Start Screen, select Manage TMs.
  2. Select the TextBase for which you would like to extract terminology.
  3. Click Extract Terminology. The Extract Terminology window opens.
    1. TextBase Name: The field is grayed out as it cannot be altered.
    2. Use Exclude List: Use exclude list avoids extracting expressions such as “of the”, “on a” etc. The exclude list contains grammatical words empty of lexical meaning such as articles, adverbs and prepositions. Applying this list sets a limit to how many words from this list can appear together in an extracted expression.
    3. Maximum Length: Limiting the length of expressions allows you to choose the maximum number of words an expression can have.
  4. By default, all languages within the TextBase are selected. You can unselect the languages for which you do not wish to extract terminology. Once you have selected your languages, click Schedule.
  5. The Scheduled Operations window opens and you can track the status of your terminology extraction. Click Refresh to see the progress.
