Context, especially cultural context, has long been neglected in Terminology. Even though recent approaches have acknowledged the relevance of culture in specialized communication, the development of culture in Terminology is still marginal. Culture is also underrepresented in terminological resources, which may respond to the complexity of reflecting the cultural component in the description of terms and concepts. However, conceptualization is dynamic and changes from culture to culture and, for that reason, an in-depth study on how the nature of human perception and cultural cognition influences the representation of concept systems and terms in specialized knowledge contexts is needed. Furthermore, to facilitate knowledge acquisition, contextual and conceptual information should go together with multimodal information, as the combination of textual and visual material improves understanding. This study integrates different types of context (i.e., semantic relations, frames, and culture) to describe a methodology for the selection and representation of multimodal information for culturally bound concepts such as forest in terminological knowledge bases, based on the theoretical premises of Frame-Based Terminology. Different ideas of forest in European countries were analyzed and represented by means of culturally adapted images, which are best suited to disseminate knowledge and foreground the role of culture in specialized communication.
语境，尤其是文化语境，长期以来在术语学中被忽视。尽管最近的方法已经认识到文化在专业交流中的相关性，但术语学中文化的发展仍然处于边缘地位。文化在术语资源中的体现也不足，这可能是因为在术语和概念描述中反映文化成分具有复杂性。然而，概念化是动态的，因文化而异，因此，需要深入研究人类感知和文化认知的本质如何影响专业知识语境中概念系统和术语的表征。此外，为了促进知识获取，语境和概念信息应与多模态信息相结合，因为文本和视觉材料的结合能提高理解。本研究整合了不同类型的语境（即语义关系、框架和文化），基于基于框架的术语学的理论前提，描述一种为术语知识库中诸如“森林”等具有文化局限性的概念选择和呈现多模态信息的方法。分析了欧洲国家对森林的不同理解，并通过文化适配的图像进行呈现，这些图像最适合传播知识并凸显文化在专业交流中的作用。
