Visual information to improve a lexical-semantic terminological resource

The lexical semantic database MariTerm contains structured information about the specialized terminology of the maritime domain (maritime navigation and transport). This paper describes the main phases of a project which aims to enhance the terminological database by means of a set of images: a) the structure of the terminological database; b) the domain conceptual modelling; c) the database management tool which, among its various features, allows visualization on demand of the image which is associated with the term being sought, contributing to clarification of the meaning of the term and increasing its information and communication potential
