Lammi thinks that he can offer knowledge and information on an organization that receives external project funding, because most of ETLA's project funding comes from project customers. Lammi divides TSK's most essential tasks in four categories. TSK produces information on terms and it is important that this information is available to all, not just to the client who ordered the project. The second task is to provide services to TSK's members. Third task is to use terminological know-how widely, for example, in different projects.
Fourth task is terminological research and development work.
