In today's shrinking world, the need to automatically pro- cess multilingual knowledge becomes increasingly pressing, particularly in specialized communication. Domain ontologies enable automated com- puting of structured knowledge, but feature little and mostly English natural language content. Terminological resources, on the other hand, provide rich multilingual data, but di er in their distribution format, data semantics, representation language, and approach to terminology science. This diversity makes it di cult to interchange their data and link them to ontologies. To address this issue, we propose a terminol- ogy interchange model that supports sharing terminologies and linking them to ontologies. The proposed model is a formalized ontology on terminology that represents the main elements of terminology science derived from ISO TC 37 standards and best practices. A methodology for applying the model to domain ontologies and merging the resulting terminological resource with available multilingual terminological data is proposed.
