Technical Dictionary
Sit four people down people in a room, ask them to describe a simple item in four words, and you will get four different answers. However, when you give them a set of choices, or templates, to follow, you will usually get four identical answers. This set of templates is what a technical dictionary represents, but in a great deal more detail.
sparesFinder have developed a technical dictionary structure that can be used to create and manage accurate descriptive data for all different types of materials and products.
We have followed the structures recommended for an open technical dictionary to comply with the ISO 22745 standard, but have added a great deal of additional workflow and supporting content to this basic structure.
We supply a proven spare parts technical dictionary with over 2,500 templates off the shelf, but can also help you to develop your own standard if you wish to use our applications for your own specific materials area, e.g. healthcare supplies or office products.
Key features include:
- Detailed Taxonomy. A template consists of Noun (e.g. BEARING) and a Modifier or type (e.g. BALL, ROLLER, PILLOW BLOCK etc), which, when combined, enable a set of relevant attributes to be defined. These attributes (or characteristics) can be text or numeric, mandatory or otherwise and placed in a given an order to create output descriptions.
- Classification Mappings. You can map one or more classification systems (such as UNSPSC, eCl@ss etc.) directly to the dictionary templates, so a user doesn’t have to worry about them as they are entering technical data - they are automatically populated.
- Multi Language. Our technical dictionary has been implemented to describe spares and product data in over 20 languages, including most European languages, and double byte character sets such as Chinese. Administrators are able to define custom translations for each word according to its context and set their own abbreviations for standard terms.
