bull set of designations belonging to one
special language (ISO 1087)
bull set of concepts and terms in a

Terminology Science
science studying the structure
formation development usage and
management of terminologies in
various subject fields
Terminology Work
work concerned with the systematic
collection description processing and
presentation of concepts and their
designations
The purpose of terminologyIt is essential for
Clarity
Consistency
Equivalence (uniform legal effects)
Translatability through additional information for the translators (domain definition image context etc)
Avoiding repeated research
Inventory management system
ConsistencyAt this stage it is very difficult to define
the potential impact of a new coherent
strategy on the level of reduction of the
fiscal fraud The intention of the
Commission is to launch an in-depth
debate at political level with Member
States and stakeholders in which all
possible alternatives would be discussed
with an open mind in order to find the
most efficient and pragmatic way to fight
tax fraud at European level

Concepts
Concepts are not bound to particular languages They are however influenced by their social and cultural background which often leads to different categorisation
