We present a status report about an ongoing research project in the field of (semi-)automatic terminology acquisition at the European Academy Bolzano. The main focus will be on encoding a text corpus, which serves as a basis for applying term extraction programq. The CATEx (C_omputer Terminology E~raction) project emerged from the need to support and improve, both qualitatively and quantitatively, the manual acquisition of terminological data. Thus, the main objective of CATEx is the development of a computational framework for (semi-)antomatic terminology acquisition, which consists of four modules: a parallel text corpus, term-extraction programs, a term bank linked.
