Review of Terminology and Knowledge Engineering

Abstract

Terminology research and knowledge engineering are the two pillars of “knowledge infrastructure”. Terminology crystallizes human scientific and technological knowledge in natural language, and throughout the history of science, the emergence of new concepts and the obsolescence of old ones are realized through terminology. Chinese terminology has a long history and its own characteristics. Since the emergence of knowledge engineering in the 1950s, it has gone through the stages of expert systems, the semantic web, knowledge graphs, and large language models. In the future, terminology research and knowledge engineering can mutually reinforce each other and develop together.
