(JIAMCATT)
JIAMCATT Partnership
The term
"JIAMCATT Partnership" designates a specific category of institutional
members.
- What is a JIAMCATT Partner ?
Being a JIAMCATT Partner means to be committed to share its terminology resources with
the other partners, to participate in JIAMCATT activities, namely its annual session, and to
convey to the JIAMCATT community any information that contributes to
the advancement of discussions on various topics pertaining to the fields of terminology
research and management, the use of translation aid tools (including speech recognition,
preparation of reference and terminological materials for translations), as well as the design
and implementation of document flow management tools. Discussion forums have been
established for this purpose.
- Who is eligible to become a partner
?
Any international organization whose field of activity
relates to the production of terminology, any state department or any national institution
whose terminology resources are of interest to users working in an international setting is eligible to become a JIAMCATT partner. Eligible national institutions include terminology institutions, universities and research
centres specialized in terminology. As of October 1999, more than seventy institutions
were affiliated as JIAMCATT partners.
