Eugen Wüster (born 10 October 1898 in Wieselburg, Austria; died 29 March 1977 in Vienna) was an industrialist and terminologist. == Career == Wüster became enthusiastic about Esperanto when he was 15, soon coming to the fore as an Esperanto translator and as the author of various monographs and numerous articles, particularly on questions of Esperanto terminology and lexicography. He trained in electrical engineering and later took over his father's factory. From mid-1918 to 1920, as a 20- to 22-year-old student, he compiled the core of the legendary encyclopedic Esperanto-German dictionary,〔:eo:Enciklopedia Vortaro Esperanta-Germana〕 which is still unmatched to this day for its detailed and faithful presentation of the early vocabulary of Esperanto and Zamenhof's usage (L.L. Zamenhof was the initiator of Esperanto). The experience Wüster acquired in compiling this dictionary formed the basis for his Stuttgart thesis,〔Internationale Sprachnormung in der Technik, besonders in der Elektrotechnik (International language standardization in technology, particularly in electronics), Berlin 1931〕 which is regarded as a seminal work on Terminology Science (2nd edition, Bonn 1966). Due to his research on international technical communication, the Technical Committee for Terminology Standardization of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO/TC 37) was established in 1936. Wüster forged the international principles of terminology standardization and contributed significantly to the foundations of the modern information society. The influence of Wüster's terminology ideas has been enormous especially in the medical field, where it has also given rise to a critical reaction.〔Barry Smith, Werner Ceusters and Rita Temmerman, “(Wüsteria )”, ''Medical Informatics Europe'' (MIE 2005), Geneva, Studies in Health Technology and Informatic, 116 (2005), 647–652.〕 He taught at the University of Vienna. The Eugen-Wüster Archives at the University of Vienna as well as at the Esperanto Museum and Department of Planned Languages of the Austrian National Library are based on material that he bequeathed. The Eugene Wüster Prize for outstanding achievements in the field of terminological research has been established under the sponsorship of the Vienna University and the City of Vienna. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Eugen Wüster」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
