The aim of the work is to study the modern AGRIS system and on this basis to develop filling / output forms for articles, conferences, monographs and other scientific materials. During the work it was revealed that the material to be processed was not drawn up according to international standards. Some of the articles did not have abstracts in any of the languages. We had to compile an abstract, adapt the keywords. Under the project, Techinform submitted 500 documents to the AGRIS system. | სემინარის პროგრამა |

| The 5th Terminological Conference “Scientific Terminology” of Arn. Chikobava Institute of Linguistics | Tbilisi, Georgia | 2017 | 14-16 ნოემბერი | TSU Arn. Chikobava Institute of Linguistics | The state of standardization of sci-tech terminological vocabulary in Georgia | poster | The difficulties that accompany the creation and establishment of scientific-technical Georgian terminology are discussed. It is noted that several international organizations and commissions are working on the issues of standardization of scientific-technical terms. Among them are the UNESCO Terminology Information Center INFOTERM (established in 1971, head office in Vienna) and the International Organization of Specialized Terms (ISTO) (Warsaw). The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is working to create standards for scientific terms. The European Commission Bureau of Terminology (Luxembourg) has created the largest international database of terms EURONET, which contains terminological databases of different countries and focuses on the translation of scientific and technical literature in standard and recommended terminology. The terminological differences found in the Georgian language versions published on the website of the Shota Rustaveli National Foundation of Georgia, a classifier of scientific disciplines of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), and published in the Georgian Technical University edition. In some cases this difference is synonymous, and sometimes it expresses a completely different point of view. | http://www.ice.ge/ |
