Building n Domain-Specific French-Korean Lexicon

Korean government has adopted the French TGV as a high-speed transportation system and the first service is scheduled at the end of 2003. TGV-relevant documents are consisted of huge volumes, of which over than 76% has been translated in English. A large part of the English version is, however, incomprehensible without referring to the original French version. The goal of this paper is to demonstrate how DiET 2.5, a lexicon builder, makes it possible to build with ease domain-specific terminology lexicon that may contain multimedia and multilingual data with multi-layered logical information. We believe our wok shows an important step in enlarging the language scope and the development of electronic lexica, and in providing the flexibility of defining any type of the DTD and the interconnectivity among collaborators. As an application of DiET 2.5, we would like to build a TGV-relevant lexicon in the near future.
