Inter-Active Terminology for Europe
IATE (= “Inter-Active Terminology for Europe”) is the EU inter-institutional terminology database. IATE has been used in the EU institutions and agencies since summer 2004 for the collection, dissemination and shared management of EU-specific terminology. The project partners are:
– European Commission
– Parliament
– Council
– Court of Justice
– Court of Auditors
– Economic & Social Committee
– Committee of the Regions
– European Central Bank
– European Investment Bank
– Translation Centre for the Bodies of the EU
The project was launched in 1999 with the objective of providing a web-based infrastructure for all EU terminology resources, enhancing the availability and standardisation of the information.
IATE incorporates all of the existing terminology databases of the EU’s translation services into a single new, highly interactive and accessible interinstitutional database. The following legacy databases have been imported into IATE, which now contains approximately 1.4 million multilingual entries:
– Eurodicautom (Commission),
– TIS (Council),
– Euterpe (EP),
– Euroterms (Translation Centre),
– CDCTERM (Court of Auditors).
