WIPO Pearl: Enhanced Database & Spotlight on New Olympic Sports for Paris 2024

July 23, 2024

The WIPO Pearl database has been updated and now contains 260,000 terms, all validated by WIPO-PCT language experts. In addition, nearly 29,000 concepts (or 89%) are linked to other concepts in the database, and these relationships can be browsed in our Concept Map Search. Further relationships can be shown in unvalidated “concept clouds” produced via a machine learning algorithm.

New Olympic sports

This special collection has been made available for free download on the WIPO Pearl website, where an .xml file is provided that allows the terms to be integrated into other applications, such as computer-assisted translation software.
