Abstract

In the day-to-day work with information retrieval tools, users are faced with systems that are difficult to understand and use. This is the case for linguists and translators, experts in language but not necessarily in the use of all these reference tools. In this article we present a study carried out between December of 2005 and March of 2006 by a group of researchers from the Pompeu Fabra University in which we established and applied a methodology to analyze the quality of ten terminology databases from the usability point of view. Results are based on heuristic evaluation and user testing (tests, questionnaires and interviews) to show that terminology databases on the Internet are not fully considering usability guidelines (navigation/architectural clarity and effectiveness/efficiency/satisfaction).
