History
The DANTERMcentre was founded in 1998 by Terminologigruppen i Danmark (the Danish Terminology Group), taking as its starting point the development and research work that has been going on in the Centre for Terminology and Department of Computational Linguistics at the Copenhagen Business School.
From 1998 to 2001 the Centre was the pivotal point of a project that was sponsored by the Danish Agency for Development of Industry and Trade (Erhvervsfremme Styrelsen) and the Danish Research Councils (Forskningsrådene) with the title “Development of methods and tools for the creation and operation of internal terminology bases in companies”.
The DANTERMcentre participated in the project as a technological service institute. On the research side, the participants were the Copenhagen Business School, Institut for Erhvervsinformatik (the Department of Business Informatics) in Kolding and the University of Southern Denmark, and the participating companies were Nordea, Danske Bank, Krüger, FKI Logistex, DANDY and Danfoss.
Since 2001, the Centre has, among other things, used its experiences from this project in its work advising companies on language technology and terminology, and not least in the development of i-Term and i-Model.
In 2005, the Centre became a centre under the Department of Computational Linguistics at the Copenhagen Business School, which in 2007, was reorganized under the Department of International Language Studies and Computational Linguistics (ISV).
