ABSTRACT
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> This paper addresses the problem of how to provide support for the acquisition, formalization, refinement, retrieval - in other words, for the management - of the knowledge required for producing high-quality terminology. This problem will become increasingly significant as term banks evolve into knowledge bases. Knowledge management for terminology-intensive activities is complicated by two factors: 1) the importance of encyclopedic as well as lexical-semantic knowledge, and 2) the wide spectrum of working environments in which terminological activities can be carried out, from terminology as a distinct specialization at one end of the spectrum, to terminology as practised in document-production at the other. In the first two sections of the paper, we briefly analyze each of the two complicating factors. In the third section, we describe the terminological support that is currently available and under development in a knowledge management tool called CODE, which is being used to build a prototype, knowledge-based term bank called COGNITERM, designed to be useful across a spectrum of terminology-intensive environments.</Paragraph>
