Back in the days of yore (when terms were entered on stone tablets) the Great Elders decreed that the ancient Mappers followed ten (10) good practice rules:

  • All terms must be entered in American English (i.e. color vs colour)

  • All terms must be entered in singular form (i.e. technology vs technologies)

  • The standard term must be entered in its fullest form (i.e. virtual local area network identifier vs VLAN ID)

  • When defining terms, be mindful of the term’s context in the document (i.e. some terms have multiple definitions. If the document describes a system service, the definition must refer to an application and not a means of delivering value)

  • Take care to designate the term properly (i.e. a software application should be an asset and not a noun)

  • Definitions for sourced terms must be taken from publicly available sources (i.e. avoid definitions from behind paywalls, membership pages, or clients' internal documents)

  • Definitions for sourced terms must come from authoritative sources (i.e. internet forums, Wikipedia, and general sales and marketing materials are of questionable provenance and should not be used)

  • Make sure that you enter all of the appropriate ‘Other Forms’ (Note: if a term has multiple designations you must add other forms for all of them or the definition with other forms missing will not appear as a selectable option in the tagging task)

  • The term hierarchy must contain at least twenty (20) semantic relationships. Otherwise your match percentage will likely be too low.

  • No labels
