摘要：

In this paper, we present how a tool called TerminoWeb can be used to help translators find background information on the Web about a domain, or more specifically about terms found in a text to be translated. TerminoWeb contains different modules working together to achieve such goal: (1) a Web search module specifically tuned for informative texts and glossaries where background knowledge is likely to be found, (2) a term ex-tractor module to automatically discover important terms of a source text, (3) a query generator module to automatically launch multiple queries on the Web from a set of extracted terms. The result of these first three steps is a background knowledge corpus which can then be explored by (4) a corpus exploration module in search of definitional sentences and concordances. In this article, an in-depth example is used to provide a proof of concept of TerminoWeb's background information search and exploration capability.
