Terminology Workflow Design and Methodology Development

The contract seeks the design of a formal terminological workflow to govern the creation, validation, and ongoing maintenance of technical terminology, with a strong emphasis on integration with machine translation systems and user-driven evaluation mechanisms. The approach must establish structured processes for identifying, documenting, and refining domain-specific terms to ensure consistency, accuracy, and relevance across technical documentation and translation pipelines. This workflow must be scalable and adaptable, allowing for iterative improvements based on feedback from end users and performance metrics from automated translation tools. The work is to be performed within the National Capital Region and falls under the North American Industry Classification System code 541610, indicating it is a professional, scientific, and technical services subcontract. The National Research Council of Canada, acting on behalf of the Government of Canada, is the contracting entity, and responses are due by July 30, 2026. The project requires a methodological framework that bridges terminology management with real-world translation usage, ensuring that technical language remains precise and effectively supports communication across multilingual technical contexts.
