Fáberová, Aneta ; Svoboda, Tomáš (advisor) ; Duběda, Tomáš (referee)
This thesis deals with the management of terminology in a multilingual institutional environment, with an emphasis on the organisation of terminology work in the institutions of the European Union, and includes a contribution to the project of Terminology Coordination Unit of the European Parliament Terminology without Borders. The theoretical part first describes the role of terminology in a multilingual institutional environment, defines the basic concepts of terminology work, and introduces the main international terminology standards. It then discusses the topic of terminology management in the institutions of the EU, in UN, and NATO, and inter-institutional cooperation in this area. Based on the gathered information, a professional profile of terminology staff in the institutional environment is drawn up. The European Union's terminology database IATE is also thoroughly discussed. The empirical part of the thesis focuses on the workflow for the preparation of terminological entries in the field of complementary and alternative medicine for the Terminology without Borders project, which serves as an illustration of the process of preparing terms for the IATE database.
