Abstract
This article places terminology in relation to linguistics and cognitive science and traces its historic evolution and perception in order to assess its current instrumental role in knowledge acquisition, representation and transfer via language. The environment of information technology permits the full exploitation of terminology and demonstrates the basically applied nature of the discipline.
