Context

The global significance of exchanging terminology data first emerged in the late 20th century, when international collaboration in science, technology, and commerce highlighted ambiguities caused by inconsistent terminology. Early initiatives by organizations such as ISO and UNESCO revealed the necessity for standardized multilingual terminological resources. Over time, increased digitization, the rise of cross-border information systems, and the expansion of global trade further underscored the strategy’s value in reducing misunderstandings and enhancing interoperability across diverse sectors.
