Communication can be tricky as meaning and understanding can get lost easily. The nuances of our languages with their different meanings and overlapping concepts are only one source for failed communication. On a business level, things get even more complicated when different business units or content providers are not consistent in their usage of words. In the days of “King Content” this can be detrimental to your business success.
- But how do you find out which terms are used in various parts of your organization?
- How can you gather and harmonize them?
- How can you get everybody's input on the suggestions you make as a terminologist?
- And how can you make sure you have a functioning feedback loop to maintain consistently high termbase quality?
Find out more in our webinar where we present procedural and technological solutions with our Content Quality Platform Kalcium.
