                               OBJECTIVES
 
 
1.    Reformulate this list of objectives.
2.    Survey and report on usage and structure of existing terminologi-
      cal data formats (both for term banks and for term-file management
      systems) and the requirements for interchange and local work on
      terminological data.  This work should use and incorporate the
      work done on this topic under the project Eurotra VII.
3.    Draft specific recommendations for the tagging of files of termi-
      nological data for interchange of a specific list of proposed tags
      with documentation of their  this should take the form intended
      usage and a description of their structural relationships.  An
      SGML document type declaration is optional, but should be produced
      if possible.
4.    Provide several concrete examples of the tagging of (real) termi-
      nological data in the format recommended.
5.    If possible, demonstrate the feasibility of translation between
      existing term-file structures and the format recommended by this
      work group.
6.    Respond to comments routed to this work group by the editors.
