T his article tells us about different centres of terminology where people analyse and study terminological progresses and development. They follow how new terms appear and change. The scholars that deal with this science give their advice and opinions about these processes. This information is very useful for us and we must have some terminological knowledge. Thus terminological knowledge can be used in many domains of science and life. It can be used to further improve major applications, such as computer-aided translation, law terms translation, and it is used even to improve our communication. Terminology is at the service of science, technology and communication: as a result, it must work within the limits of providing a service to other disciplines.

În studiul de faţă sunt prezentate diferite centre terminologice pentru analiza şi studierea progresului şi dezvoltării terminologiei ca ramură a ştiinţei lingvistice. Informaţia ce ţine de procesele utilizării terminologice este foarte utilă, rezultatele fiind aplicate în multe domenii ştiinţifice şi sociale, un rezultat evident fiind şi îmbunăţăţirea traducerii prin asistarea la computer, traducerea unor termeni juridici, îmbunătăţirea comunicării interumane.
