-有效的沟通对学术项目的成功至关重要，特别是在多学科团队中，研究人员不仅在个人和/或文化层面上有不同的背景，而且还来自不同的学科。这可能会导致误解，如果对不同的概念使用相同的术语，在会议和项目计划中甚至可能不明显。团队成员隐含地假设所有各方都使用相同的术语定义。VisDict项目通过在科学门户中创建可视词典来解决工作流提供者和领域研究人员之间的沟通，以便容易识别并及时解决术语感知上的差异。词典被用作自然语言之间的翻译工具--从计算科学到物理和生物学等研究领域的翻译方法是新颖的。在这篇文章中，我们详细讨论了我们在科学门户中建立词典的方法，从仔细挑选第一个条目中学到的教训，以及将其自动扩展到一大组相关术语的计划，包括它们的插图。
—Effective communication is crucial for the success of academic projects, especially within multidisciplinary teams where researchers come from different backgrounds not only on personal and/or cultural level but also from different disciplines. This can lead to misunderstandings which might not be even obvious in meetings and project plans if the same terms might be used for different concepts. Team members implicitly assume that all parties work with the same definition of terms. The project VisDict addresses the communication between workflow providers and domain researchers via the creation of a visual dictionary in a science gateway so that differences in the perception of terms are easily recognized and can be timely resolved. Dictionaries are used as translation tools between natural languages – the approach for translating from computational science to research domains such as physics and biology is novel. In this paper, we go into detail for our approach to build a dictionary in a science gateway, the lessons learned from carefully curating the first entries, and plans for automating its extension to a large set of relevant terms including their illustrations.
