Dictionary Use Cases
Primary use case of the dictionary feature is to provide secondary knowledge within SABIO. Terms of relevance with regards to content for the users can be furnished with a definition. In doing that, editors assure that all users have the same understanding of the respective terms.
Furthermore, determining a “Leading term” allows to mark the designation that is the preferred one throughout the company.
Exceeding this dictionary functionality, the editors can add multiple synonyms to each dictionary item; the maximum amount of synonyms per item can be defined in the realm settings.
This functionality is very helpful in case that more than one designation for one term exist within the company that are i.e. not used consistently. In this case the SABIO search considers all content that do not necessarily contains the leading term but one of the defined synonyms.
In addition, the dictionary feature can also be used for consistent translations. To assure this, the leading term of a dictionary item can contain the standard language used within the organisation, while the synonyms are used to define the respective translations to other languages. A complemental entry into the notes field assures that all users know which language is represented by the particular synonym.
