About TermIt
TermIt is a system for managing terms and vocabularies and their interconnection to legislation (or other documents) and other vocabularies.
Motivation to create such a system originated in a need to describe terms used by different groups of experts to make them understand each other without a need to learn new terminology. Without being an ontology expert, it was impossible to achieve the aforementioned goal. The tool helps domain experts to create ontological glossaries and interconnect their terms to other vocabularies.
Deployments
TermIt is an open-source project. Its source code can be found on GitHub. TermIt is already running in the following deployments:
TermIt at IPR
TermIt has been used by the Institute of Planning and Development of Prague (IPR) since 2021. TermIt was originally created in a OPPPR project and IPR tested its usability – to describe the Metropolitan plan and help to relate it to the legislation. Nowadays, TermIt serves for systemization of terminology in other areas, e.g., Uniform Interchangeable Format of the Digital Technical Map (JVF DTM) and Building Intelligence Model (BIM).
TermIt at CAS
TermIt has been used by the Czech Standardization Agency (CAS). Currently only used internally, the results of its use are planned to be published in the future.
TermIt deployment in KODI
The Ministry of interior of the Czech Republic incorporated TermIt as a part of the assembly line for creation of open data, including proper documentation. TermIt serves as a tool for creation of legislation glossaries. They are used to annotate data sets and create interlinks between legislation. The resulting data are accessible in the Semantic Vocabulary.
