Abstract
This chapter describes some successful terminological systems. It is not possible to describe all terminological efforts as there are too many; however, I will cover examples of the most commonly employed types of software that are used to build, maintain, distribute, use, or employ terminological systems. Some categories are so large that I will provide multiple examples. We have used some of the publically available materials and statements regarding the descriptions of vended systems used as examples of types of terminological systems in this chapter. The categories and systems that will be discussed in their historical order of appearance are:
