In this demonstration paper we present an innovative platform Terminology as a Service (TaaS) for acquiring raw terminological data, and cleaning up, sharing, and reusing them, based on cloud computing. The platform serves, among other things, the needs of specialised lexicography. The proposed solution aims to fill the gap of collaborative terminology management and effective sharing of existing terminological data thus speeding up the development of specialised dictionaries. It also aims to build a bridge for the reuse of existing terminology between different groups of users, e.g. human users, such as lexicographers, translators, terminologists, and others, and machine users, such as computer-assisted translation tools, machine translation systems, third party terminology management solutions, and others.
