The intended benefits of the

...

tool

  • Precise and efficient management of concepts and terminologies, with easy change log control and better visibility for your organisation’s terminologies and concepts.
  • Avoiding the unnecessary and even harmful cases of having the same content in different, unconnected instances; efficient reuse of once created content.
  • Information contents can be freely browsed and used in accordance with the terms of the usage agreement.
  • A single point of access to semantic materials created by different organisations, regardless of the status of the materials; ie. both “draft” and officially approved (valid) content are ok in the tool but you use the not-yet-approved content at your own risk. 
  • Terminologies are reliable to use because they are managed along common guidelines and are up to date
