PRESENTACIÓN
In line with the specific objective of the Iberoamerican Terminology Network (RITerm) and previous symposia, the 13th edition of the Ibero-American Symposium of Terminology organizes this edition focusing on research conducted in the context of terminology, translation and the technologies of information and communication technology (ICT).

The next RITerm Symposium, to be held at the University of Alicante on 25, 26 and 27 October 2012, will cover eight thematic panels that will address various issues related to theoretical and applied aspects of terminology, translation and ICT. Of particular interest will be those dealing with multiple applications and implications of these disciplines in the context of Web 2.0, also called 'the social web' .
hat is why we have chosen as the title for this symposium the of "Terminology, Translation and ICT: Social Interaction and Collaborative Work for the Construction and Dissemination of Knowledge".

The effort to eliminate polysemy and synonymy in terminology in order to achieve the unrealistic ideal of univocity and unambiguous communication has been shown to interfere with natural language processes.

Still, both the standardization of terminology by an authoritative body and the democratic negotiation process of harmonization can be important, e.g.:

for the transmission of scientific and technical knowledge in a particular linguistic community,
for the development of smaller languages in a variety of scientific, technological and formal domains and communicative settings,
for the development of an international or global overarching legal order (Tsakona 2007).
