TAG-Org Launches TAG ICT Dictionary
ICT Dictionary will be another valuable addition to TAG-Org?s professional and scientific publications ? Abu-Ghazaleh
AMMAN -November 6, 2008 , Talal Abu-Ghazaleh Information Technology International (TAG-ITI), the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) consultancy arm of the Talal Abu-Ghazaleh Organization (TAG-Org), has recently launched the TAG ICT Dictionary.
The TAG ICT Dictionary is an English-Arabic publication of about 6500 ICT terms. It was created to serve various goals; one of which is meeting the needs of ICT specialists and students at universities, colleges and vocational institutions by providing necessary explanations for various terms rather than merely the equivalent meaning or synonym.
In the introduction to the dictionary, Chairman and CEO of TAG-Org, Mr. Talal Abu-Ghazaleh stated that the ?ICT Dictionary will be another valuable addition to TAG-Org?s professional and scientific publications which include Abu-Ghazaleh Intellectual Property Dictionary, Abu-Ghazaleh Accountancy and Business Dictionary, Abu-Ghazaleh Dictionary of Accountancy and Abu-Ghazaleh Legal Dictionary.?
The methodology adopted in preparing this work, was based on numerous principles such as:
- Association between the main term and its derivatives
- Association between the main term and its synonyms
- Translation of concepts and an avoidance of literal translation of a particular term
- Defining the term to guarantee accuracy and scholarly integrity with an explanation if needed
- Taking into consideration the consistency of style and content
- Focusing on English terminology without listing terms from other languages unless necessary
On his part, Dr. Ra?ed Awdeh, the executive director of ICT Development at TAG-Org added ?We will continue to exert our efforts to develop and enrich this dictionary in order to serve those interested in the fields of computer science, information technology and telecommunications.?
TAG-ITI has developed a synergy between innovative technical solutions and professional IT consultancy, resulting in the provision of world class IT consultancy services in IT Audit, IT Security, Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), ICT Consulting, Website Development and Audit, and Business Solutions.
TAG-ITI is a member of the Talal Abu-Ghazaleh Organization, the largest Arab group of professional services.
