Answers to this question assert that there is no difference in meaning between these two words. So they should be merged?

Collins Cobuild English Dictionary:
Nomenclature: The nomenclature of a particular set of things is the system of naming those things [formal]
Terminology: The terminology of a subject is the set of special words and expressions used in connection with it
My opinion is that we do not need both of these tags. I would say to keep "terminology" as it is more widely known/used than "nomenclature".

I think there's considerable overlap with single-word-requests, word-choice, vocabulary, words, nomenclature, terminology, and possibly several others. But where will it all end? We can't just tag everything as language. Apr 12, 2011 at 15:52

1I support merging these two tags, and will set up the synonyms myself if no one objects in the next day or two.– JSBձոգչApr 12, 2011 at 17:02

This has not been done, nor do I see any votes that it be done.
The nomenclature has 83 questions and a tag wiki, while terminology is considerably larger with over a 1,000 questions and two existing synonyms.
