Project Glossary

[Paul-s]

Hello,

I would be intrested in using the glossary in EA but I'm not sure if it has all the functionality i need.

As far as i found out there is no possibility to define equivalent terms or a translation of terms to other languages. i'm thinking in the direction of the thesaurus (ISO 2788) where i can define some relations and diferent languages. otherwise i have to create the glossary for each project separately.

Is there a EA funktionality that uses this glossary or is it just for documentation process only ?
thanks and regards Paul

Hello Paul,

if you use a glossary term in a description this term is underlined and if you hover with the mouse over the term you see the beginning of the glossary entry. You can jump to the glossary entry.

If you use DBMS you can share the glossary.

I agree there are some more useful functions for a glossary item which aren't implemented.

Best regards,

Helmut

Hello Paul,
If you are serious about setting up a thesurus type glossary and linking to other languages - you might consider looking at using the ODM MDG (OWL). This covers settting terms using Subject-Predicate-Object relationships etc.

It would be great if that also worked in the html output !
