As more and more stakeholders in the language industry implement translation memories and localisation-oriented software solutions designed to leverage previous translations, the question of quality assurance with respect to legacy resources has risen to the forefront. More and more users are realising that 'getting it right the first time' is a critical issue. Furthermore the growing emphasis on information and knowledge management in enterprises has highlighted issues involved in terminology management with respect to enterprise-wide taxonomies, ontologies and the gradual emergence of the Semantic Web. 

Sue Ellen Wright, the coordinator of the workshop, is chair of the ATA terminology committee and is an ATA-accredited translator (German-English). She is active in the national and international standards community (American Society for Testing Materials and The International organisation for Standardisation). She is also active as a terminology trainer and a consultant for companies and institutions implementing terminology management.
