In Europe, at least until the end of the 20th century, terminology was regarded as essential for the precision of specialised knowledge, particularly within scientific and technological domains. In this context, terms are defined as units that represent the concepts associated with a specific area of specialised knowledge or practice. Concepts are organised hierarchically, and their significance is determined by their position within this framework of specialised knowledge. Thus, the necessity of accurately representing and communicating specific knowledge lies at the core of this activity.
