A Modern Approach to the Formation of a Terminological System in the Field of Fire Protection

Abstract

The paper considers a variant of combining the terms used in the field related to the study of fire protection means into a terminological system. The correct definition of terms is also crucial in technological and manufacturing processes. That is why it was decided to form and describe the terminological system in the field of fire protection and fire retardant materials. The terms in terminological system are to be related between each other, and to be expressing the relationship between the concepts that they denote. Such a system does not yet exist in the field of fire protection, so the authors aim was to create its basis. The types of relations between the terms defining the structure of the system have been established, a diagram that illustrates the distribution and coordination of terms in the system has been developed. On the basis of the relations between the terms established in the terminological system, the existing definitions were assessed with subsequent, if necessary, adjustments to meet the requirements for the terms of unambiguity, compliance with the expressed concept and elimination of synonymy.
