KONTRAST: a Terminological Ontological Glossary to Exploit Linguistic Variants

International audienceThis paper is part of a study focusing on the terminological and socio-organizational analysis of a corpus of 18 national and international standards, written in English, in the domains of business continuity activity management and risk management.

First, we present the building of a new tool, called KONTRAST, designed to exploit the terminological variants in a non-stabilized terminological domain. Then we describe the workflow to build an RDF/SKOS/OWL base from an XML glossary and a use case to illustrate the ability of KONTRAST to detect influence networks
