WIPO Pearl: Enhanced Database

August 20, 2018

The WIPO Pearl terminology database has been updated with 15,000 new terms and 2,500 new concept relations. The database now contains over 160,000 patent terms, all validated by WIPO-PCT language experts.

17,000 concepts (or 85%) are linked to other concepts in the database, and these relationships can be browsed in our Concept Map Search. Further relationships can be shown in unvalidated “concept clouds” produced via a machine learning algorithm.

Collaboration with the Government of Canada

This update includes 110 multilingual terminology records resulting from a collaboration between WIPO and the Terminology Standardization Division, Translation Bureau, Government of Canada, which defined key terminology in the breakthrough artificial intelligence field of conversational interfaces, or “chatbots”. Expert validation of the terms and the concept maps was provided by specialists in this field at Concordia University, Dalhousie University, Laval University, all in Canada, and by Microsoft Canada.

Collaboration with universities

This release also includes 540 multilingual terminology records provided by students at the following universities, following our validation:

We invite universities who are interested in a terminology collaboration of this kind to contact us.
