Finnish Terminology Centre TSK

The Finnish Terminology Centre TSK (Sanastokeskus TSK) is a Finnish general-interest association that produces terminology services, classifications and ontologies. According to its official website, it offers information and expert services related to glossary, classification and ontology work and the use of special-field terms. Its work applies concept-analysis methods based on terminology theory and international standards in the field. In addition to openly available terminology services, TSK carries out commissioned projects. It receives support from the Ministry of Education and Culture for providing open services. The centre works together with subject-field experts to produce glossaries, classifications and ontologies. Its website collects information on glossaries and ontologies produced in projects as well as other publications. Recent outputs mentioned on its site include a glossary of transport infrastructure, an expansion and update, and Kela's terminological glossary relating to benefits and tasks. It also maintains and updates resources such as the TEPA term bank, with materials from IATE and the Bank of Finnish Terminology in Arts and Sciences (Tieteen termipankki) updated there. TSK is based in Finland and operates primarily in Finnish, serving public administration, research, education and specialist fields. It is a non-profit association rather than a commercial company, and its open services are supported by the Ministry of Education and Culture. Its activities include training and awareness-raising, such as webinars with SFS Finnish Standards on the importance of concept definition and standardization as a basis for interoperability, and an updated third edition of its guide to terminology work available electronically.
