summaryThe topic of my presentation is related to the topic of my postdoc fellowship. The project goal is the development of a multilingual network resource for a comparative-contrastive representation of fire science terminology at the high modern technological level. This resource is meant to: 1) combine features of translation, explanatory, encyclopedic, ideographic and student’s dictionaries; 2) help to treat each national fire science terminology with care preserving the uniqueness of each system of knowledge; 3) enable comparison of different countries’ scientific terminologies for their harmonization (at the level of systems through terminology comparison and at the level of individual terms through terminology contrasting); 4) suggest joint ways of solving translation issues by terminology translators and fire science experts; 5) reflect diachronic development of a scientific notion behind a term and existing approaches to its explanation; 6) be open for updating and editing; 7) provide potential involvement of fire science terminologies from different languages and countries to this project. Such an electronic resource could become the basis for a large international project on development of a multilingual network resource on similar informational and technological but more rigorous scientific principles as Wikipedia or Wiktionary.
