Abstract

The use of computers and electronic documentation systems in the nursing environment has put forward new requirements on terminologies. In this paper, we present an introduction to the development of formal terminological systems along a cognitive, linguistic and communicative dimension. The goal is to arrive at formal terminologies that assist nurses in their documentation activities while minimising the burdens related to the use of traditional terminologies.
