Abstract
This paper shows the process of compilation of a specialised multilingual corpus for the fields of global organized crime and terrorism. This tailor-made corpus is currently being compiled with a twofold aim. Firstly, it is intended to serve as a repository in the population of a legal subontology within the core ontology included in FunGramKB (Functional Grammar Knowledge Base). Secondly, a more immediate goal of the corpus is to serve as the basis for the creation of a glossary of the abovementioned domains. This terminological glossary will be implemented to show a dictionary interface to the definitions of the specialised terminology therein contained, while it will also be suitable for application in automatic translation, information retrieval and related NLP (Natural Language Processing) tasks. This paper focuses on the methodology followed for compiling the corpus while also showing the process of terminological extraction.
