Abstract
Precise use of terminology must be a key component in the communication amongst the product team and with end users. It is not a simple goal to have standardized terms used throughout a lengthy development process in which many people with different expertise and at different locations are involved. Terminology tools and processes used by trained terminologists enable precise use of terminology throughout the product life cycle, in all content management systems and by all contributors to the content supply chain.
