Abstract:

Studies on languages of Uzbek, Kazakh and other Central Asian are facing a problem of lack of professional domain dictionaries, terminology and knowledge ontology. For solving this problem, we take the military field as an example, and use the existing terms as the seed word to automatically collect bilingual terminology pairs from Wikipedia and professional dictionaries. Based on manual proofreading, we built a medium-sized Chinese, Russian, Uzbek, and Kazakh term base. Based on this term base, the military domain ontology has built, which includes 7 categories (person, organization, region, technology, equipment, activity and document) and 35 sub-categories. We also discussed the potential and application prospects of the term base and ontology library. This achievement is an important basic work, and it has great practical significance for the compilation of terminology dictionary, terminology, natural language processing and language teaching in Central Asian languages.

Key words: Central Asia, terminology, ontology, Russian, Uzbek, Kazakh
