Understanding the evolution of historic artefacts requires that one takes into account numerous and strongly heterogeneous sources (specific pieces of data – like archival documents or findings - and elements of knowledge). As a consequence, the description and structuring of the source's content, their accessibily and relations to one another remain an issue. As an answer, we base on the observation that these sources have something in common: they can be related to an artefact or its sub-parts, i.e. objects. We therefore have proposed to establish a triangular relation between objects, documents, and generic architectural concepts that represent the global knowledge level. In this paper, we focus on this level, and on how terminology analysis can fruitfully intervene in the structuring of concepts (in particular in the handling of relations between concepts).
