Glossary and terminology: a chimera or a reality?
An updated terminology glossary allows you to produce more consistent and higher quality documentation. However, for many companies it remains a chimera.
The importance of an up-to-date glossary
The creation of a glossary of terminology within a manufacturing company is in most cases a chimera . From our experience, in almost all companies, at various stages, someone has tried to create a terminology glossary. The best result obtained, in an artisanal way, is the creation of an Excel file, more or less known to a group of people who deal with technical or marketing documentation, or to someone from the technical office. This Excel file groups and collects the most used specialist terms to which we must refer with considerable good will every time we have to deal with a specific technical object defined within this.
