TL;DR: Introducing TermIt - a SKOS-based terminology management tool.

Abstract: Many domains use specific terminologies to describe concepts. Being able to explicitly manage such terminologies instead of relying on their common knowledge is beneficial both for newcomers and for people for whom the terminology is not their daily bread and butter. This is especially true for legislative terminologies. We present TermIt, a Semantic Web-based terminology manager that allows domain experts to create and manage high-quality terminologies, link them to normative documents as well as use them to annotate other related documents. We discuss the architecture of the system and the technologies used in its development.
