One of the roles of the Term Banks is to standardize the use of terms within related and unrelated subject fields. The aim is to hinder that many different terms are used for the same concept or phenomenon. The Term Bank provides an overview of Icelandic terminology and topical neologisms and thereby makes it easier to coordinate and standardize term usage. Additionally, the Term Bank provides access to Icelandic translations of foreign terms, and access to definitions of terms in Icelandic and other languages. The Term Bank thus benefits all those that write about specialized topics, such as translators, teachers, students, journalists, government agencies, businesses and any interested people, and last but not least compilers of dictionaries.
