Dedicated term extract workflow

Question

Good afternoon: 
 I would like to know if there is a proces or workflow to extract terms from a document using an existing Multiterm termbase, i.e. the workflow would detect in the original document only the terms already registered in the termbase and extract them into a new termbase to, for example, send it to a collaborator. 
 I have done my own research on this several times to no avail. 
 Thank very much.

You and everybody knows it. 
 1. Open termbase list 2. Select the first item of it 3. Check it out whether the document has the item within it or not 4. Make result list when "Yes" 5. Continue loop from step #2 again unitl the termbase list ends 
 too Easy.. 
 Should you feel that this is not so much efficient way, then Check this out Quite nice method for you to start

 What about doing a &ldquo;normal&rdquo; term extraction on your document, then exporting all the terms in your termbase, then delete all extracted terms that don't match a term in your termbase. Any standard text editor like EditPad Pro should allow you to do that. 
 The problem I see here is fuzzy term recognition, or rather the lack thereof. (If your TB contains &ldquo;shelf&rdquo; and your document contains &ldquo;shelves&rdquo;, it would take a bit to get that to match.) You could overcome that if you convert your TB into a TM with identical source term and target term, then &ldquo;pre-translate&rdquo; your list of extracted terms using that TM. You determine which level of match you will accept and arrive with a certain number of the extracted terms that have a translation (your TB entry) and a certain number without. Using Export to Excel or something similar, you export the whole stuff and delete all rows that have no translation. (=have no match in your TB) 
 Now you have a spreadsheet of terms extracted from your document and the matching TB entries. 
 What is your hoped-for result of this operation? A list of terms? A MultiTerm termbase that contains all the additional information that your current termbase contains? If you want to arrive at a slimmed-down version of your TB, you'd have to export it with Glossary Converter and use the aforementioned spreadsheet to filter out entries that don't match a TB entry in your new spreadsheet. 
 Then you use Glossary converter to create a new TB from that. I know it's a few steps, but it's scalable. The entire process should take less than 30 minutes.
