The Challenge

MultiTerm has a concept-oriented database structure and autonomous terms. This approach is necessary in professional terminology management, because language data are not structured in a purely linear way. For instance, some entries might have 4 terms in German, 8 in Spanish, and only one in English. Also, the additional information for each term is not always the same in all languages. This unstructured nature of the content makes it difficult to re-purpose it. MultiTerm does have export mechanisms, of course. However, these are based on RTF or CSV, which are not very suitable for advanced processing. Therefore, a clever solution is needed, which combines flexible data selection with a dynamic post-processing engine. This solution is called Publishing MultiTerm.

Our Solution

Publishing MultiTerm offers several ways to select the desired fields and data ranges, including existing MultiTerm filters, proprietary filters, and a clickable tree structure. Publishing MultiTerm then stores your selection as an export definition so you can repeat the process later either manually or through the Windows Task Scheduler. The selected data are written to a simple XML format. The software then executes either an XSLT or XSLFO script in order to transform the data to XML or PDF. XSLT and XSLFO are standardized languages for use with XML. As a result, you can either ask us to create the desired target formats or create your own custom formats in-house. By combining flexible data selection with freely definable transformations, virtually any desired target format is possible.
