A terminological survey on the titles of the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7)

This paper focuses on the automatic extraction of domain-specific knowledge from the European Commission projects of the 7th Framework Programme, hereinafter referred as FP7. The study is divided in three parts: the first part introduces the work starting from the building up of a corpus containing the titles of European Projects of the whole FP7 in order to obtain a relevant terminological sample for the different domains; the second describes software and methods while the third part focuses on the evaluation of results. Finally, we conclude by suggesting possible directions for further development of a comparison between terminological extraction from FP7 and FP5/FP6.
