Annotation: The project is a follow-up to the VEGA project (Theory and Term. System of Slovak Onomastics),the aim of which was to inventory and database Slovak onom. terminology (SOT) a to publish the recommended terms with theoretical comments in the form of a prescriptive monograph. The aim of the new project is to place the SOT core within an international context – to compare the SOT systems with other systems, to expand the corpus of terminological foreign equivalents (to add Croatian,Lusatian,Ukrainian,or other equivalents), as well as to expand the Slov. Term. Database, using terms from other languages not yet used in our country or from other onomastic schools, and to develop a topic-based categorization of SOT, which would also be published in an updated monograph containing a systematic arrangement of terms. Another aim is the creation of a dedicated terminological database,which, due to the expanded possibilities of editing and hypertext linking between languages, would be of greater national or international use.
