Textual and Terminological Database for the Portuguese Parliament

 

The Textual and Terminological Database for the Portuguese Parliament (Assembleia da República) [BDTT-AR] results from a collaboration between the Portuguese Parliament (Assembleia da República) and Centro de Linguística da Universidade Nova de Lisboa, which began in 2005.

BDTT-AR is a multilingual database (Portuguese, English and French) that contains the terminology used within the Portuguese Parliament. The database conception follows methodological and theoretical criteria implemented by Centro de Linguística da Universidade Nova de Lisboa in close collaboration with Assembleia da República. Terminological information was retrieved from texts produced within this institution, thoroughly checked with the different working groups involved - linguists, terminologists, translators, documentalists and specialists from the different Parliament areas -, and is now available in BDTT-AR.

BDTT-AR is conceived as a dynamic database, whose containts are  permanently being updated.
