Taxonomies and terminologies can be seen as different sides of the same coin. However, the focus is quite different. Taxonomies make linguistic data available for machines and humans to distill knowledge and often to manage chaos. Terminologies harmonize language, make sure everyone uses consistent and correct words, and try to avoid chaos from the outset. Organizations obviously require both, so it is only natural for Semantic Web Company and Kaleidoscope to integrate their two platforms and offer a combined taxonomy and terminology management solution.
This presentation and demo show you:
- how to connect your Pool Party taxonomy to the Kalcium terminology suite
- and add terminology benefits to your existing data:
- human-grade, rich metadata, organizational decision workflows, and automatic guidance in word choice for authors and translators alike
