SEARCH INCONCLUSIVE AT THE MOMENT

Hello, Andrejs It's nice that ETB test-version is working! Unfortunately every time I try to search a term that I know is included in ETB, a message pops up saying "the page is unavailable; try again". Evidently there are some problems of technical nature: you should check it I suppose. Last time when I checked it, everything was OK. I will also have a structured comment on the data structure in some resources where it must have been thoroughly simplified, which I hope will be corrected. But I guess there will be time during the conference to discuss it in detail. Of course I can also do it on the forum here. Best regards, Tomasz.
OOPS - SORRY!

I am sorry, Andrejs - I forgot to mark any search options, so no wonder I had no results! Search is very effective indeed. Best regards, Tomasz.
Entry compunding is done by automatic process. It is not always precise, should be taken with caution.

Thanks for the creators of the term-bank - good job indeed! I'm just curious, what is the reliability rate in this data-base and level of subjectivity? Well, I see that a lot of sources are used (as reference) to present term equivalents in the target language, but I still hope this term-bank is just the source of versions of terms and not really the source of 'only truth' as I believe that the more users will take use it as 100% relaiable source, the more imprecise and controversial terms will enter the language and occupy a 'settled position' there. I checked just a few terms which I have analysed rather thoroughly and discovered that the automatically provided equivalents are extremely controversial. Anyhow, good luck in the process of improvement of the term-bank! I hope that there will be a lot of committed society members who will be interested to take part in this process..
