Research on Standardization of Japanese Scientific Terms in Aeronautics and Astronautics

日本航空学和宇宙学的科学术语被收集并存储在电子数据库中。分别在航空航天的空气动力学、材料、结构、推进、飞行动力学、空间利用、运行控制等14个主要领域进行了收集。每个领域的收集都由本研究项目的调查人员监督。科学术语广泛地从日本航空航天学会出版的《航空航天手册》、与航空航天有关的各种期刊、机构使用的著名教科书和私人数据库中挑选出来。对日本文部科学省1973年编纂的航空科学术语也进行了检索，并将重要术语收录在本数据库中。在这些领域收集的所有科学术语都被收集到一个电子数据库中。该数据库包括汉字中的日语术语、罗马日语中的日语术语、假名中的日语术语、英语术语、收集该术语的字段和缩写(如果有)。总共收集了10270个术语。最后，以日英词典、英日词典和缩略语词典为参考，利用现有的电子数据库，对航空航天日语科学术语的规范使用提供参考。日本航空航天科学术语将由文部科学省在现有数据库的基础上重新编撰。

The Japanese scientific terms in aeronatics and astronautics are collected and stored in an electronic database. Collection has been made separately in 14 main fields of aeronautics and astronautics, such as aerodynamics, material, structure, propulsion, flight dynamics, space utilization, operating control and so on. Collection in each field is supervised by the investigators of the present research project. Scientific terms are widely selected from "Handbook of Aeronautics and Astronautics, " published by the Japan Society for Aeronautical aud Space Science, various journals in relation to aeronautics and astronautics, famous text books and private databases used in institutions. The Japanese scientific terms in aeronautics compiled by Ministry of Education, Japan in 1973 are also checked and important terms are included in the present database. All the scientific terms collected in these fields are gathered into one electronic database. The database consists of the Japanese term in Kanji, Japanese term in the Roma-ji, Japanese term in Kana, English term, fields in which the term is collected and abbreviation (if any). In total, the number of terms collected is 10270. Finally, the Japanese-English dictionary, the English-Japanese dictionary and the dictionary of abbreviations are made as a reference in standard usage of the Japanese scientific terms in aeronautics and astronautics by using the present electronic database. The Japanese scientific terms in aeronautics and astronautics will bc newly compiled by the Ministry of Education, Science, Sports and Culture based on the present database.
