A Framework for Terminology Management in Environmental Data Systems

This document by Bruce Bargmeyer outlines a comprehensive framework for terminology management, particularly focusing on the genus Salmo, which includes various game fishes such as salmon and trout. It emphasizes the significance of standardized terminology in environmental data systems operated by agencies like the EPA. Key concepts include definitions of brown trout (Salmo trutta), its common and scientific names, and the relevance of multilingual data representation in interdisciplinary environments. The framework aims to facilitate effective communication and data interchange across government, academia, and private sectors.
