Our Solution<\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Export<\/h3><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The flexible data structure of\u00a0MultiTerm<\/a>\u00a0makes it nearly impossible to export a table structure in a single step. For instance, an entry in a language may have an unlimited number of terms, or none at all. And each of those terms may have an unlimited amount of descriptive fields or none at all. Excelling MultiTerm solves this problem by exporting the data in two steps: First you use a straightforward interface to define which languages and fields you would like to export as well as the filter criteria and the sort order or the terms. Excelling MultiTerm reads this data from MultiTerm and restructures it. It then writes the data directly into an Excel table designed specifically for the purpose of representing concept-oriented terminology data. This makes it possible to give a linear structure to the non-linear, concept-oriented, and term-independent data structure in MultiTerm, map the structure in Excel, and facilitate editing of the data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Editing in Excel<\/h3><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Excel file that is produced can be edited with all Excel functions, including find\/replace, spell check, and many others. You can modify existing data or insert new terms, translations, or entirely new entries into the Excel file. When the data are imported back into MultiTerm, all updates and new entries will be included.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Import<\/h3><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The problem with the standard import function in MultiTerm is that there are no clear term IDs in the database structure. As a result, when importing an unknown term, MultiTerm is unable to distinguish between a new term or a change to an existing term. Furthermore, the MultiTerm import function cannot tell the difference between a homonym and a real duplicate. Excelling MultiTerm resolves these problems by generating temporary term IDs when exporting into Excel. As a result, when reimporting the data, the system is able to tell the difference between a new term and modified term. The entry number is also exported to enable identification of homonyms. Thanks to these features, users with Excelling MultiTerm can revise concepts, text fields, picklist fields, terms, etc. in Excel and then automatically update this data in MultiTerm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
