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 specific focus on integration into machine translation systems and user-driven evaluation processes. The methodology must establish clear protocols for term acquisition, consistency checks, approval cycles, and updates, ensuring that terminology remains accurate, aligned with domain standards, and responsive to evolving technical contexts. The workflow should facilitate seamless interaction between human experts and automated systems, enabling both machine translation engines and end users to contribute feedback and validate term usage in real-world applications. The project is issued as a subcontract under the National Research Council of Canada, part of the Government of Canada, and is categorized under NAICS code 541610 for scientific research and development services. Performance is required within the National Capital Region, and the submission deadline is July 30, 2026. The contract emphasizes the development of a scalable, repeatable framework that enhances terminology quality across multilingual technical documentation while supporting user satisfaction and system reliability. The solution must be robust enough to serve as a foundation for future language technology initiatives and capable of adapting to new domains or languages without fundamental restructuring.
