Abstract: From the end of 20th century to present, the European Union expanded eastwardly several times, which made modern Europe more and more integrated into a whole in its economical, scientific and political aspects. This status makes the profound cooperation among different countries possible, and also forces European scholars put their eyes into a series of studies, such as knowledge engineering, the relationship between modern linguistics and terminology, as well as the relationship between terminology and ontology. The contribution of scholars in France to the Terminology is a vivid miniature of the whole European academic panorama. This paper aims at giving a preliminary research on the intersection of terminology and ontology made by French scholars in the past 20 years.

Key words: modern society, knowledge engineering, ontology, Wüster's traditional concept terminology, semantic mapping, ontoterminology
