Content feedback on EM Glossary

• EXPLORE” box: ‘key-word’ should be ‘keyword’
• ‘View the full entry, here:’ doesn’t need the comma or the colon (word of the week)
• “…on these pages please visit…” would be easier to read with a comma between ‘pages’ and ‘please’ (style point). (explore page)
• intro text: “either as class heirarchy, or as annotation properties” doesn’t need the comma - sometimes a comma is appropriate, but with short items like this it isn’t necessary (style point).
• Under Label: “In the EM Glossary OWL implementation this is used to…” I would add a comma after ‘implementation’ (style point).
• Comments explanation: “Contain additional info…”. This is describing the section, so it should be “Contains”. As in “The Comments section contains xyz” “…was not considered as one of the features that differentiate…” but this could conatain multiple pieces of information. Maybe reword to “…was not considered pertinent to the features that differentiate…”
• Sources explanation: remove the comma.
• Examples explanation: needs a comma either adding or removing! “…to illustrate the use of or give context to a term…” or “…to illustrate the use of, or give context to, a term…” this is definitely a style choice, and not a clear call. On any given day, I might go either way. But the commas used in this sense come in a pair, so you need both or neither.
• Synonyms explanation: “The Definitions of the term Label and its Exact Synonyms are identical.” (added Label, made Definition plural, changed ‘is’ to ‘are’)
• Headline doesn’t need colon (or anything else) at the end.
• Intro text:‘community driven’ should be ‘community-driven’ “Check out who contributed:” ends in colon, but then there’s another sentence before the contributors are listed. Maybe end in an exclamation mark, or change to “Check out who contributed below.”
• Oonagh: need a comma after ‘scattering methods’.
• Consider changing entries to include the person’s name in the text, generally just the first time they are mentioned (after that ‘he/she’ are fine).
• add clarifying text to contributors page to say that there is random ordering
• Headline doesn’t need colon (or anything else) at the end.
• Intro text:‘stable domain level’ should be ‘stable, domain-level’ (comma and hyphen); this keeps it consistent with the same phrase on the About page.
• an harmonization’ should be ‘a harmonization’
• ‘Contact us’ I expected to go to a contact form rather than be a mailto link. Perhaps ‘Email us’ would be clearer.
• Helmholtz MDMC: typo in title (MDMD = MDMC)
• I don’t understand the description. Should it be “The Helmholtz MDMC focuses on correlative…analysis and develops applicatoion-level…”? That’s my best guess! recommend comma after ‘Microscopy’, but may depend what is actuall being said here!
• PMD: typo in title (Plattform = Platform) on their website, MaterialDigital doesn’t have a space. So should be corrected in title and beginning of text here.
• About page. Our approach box point 1: remove full stop; Point 2: ‘An machine’ should be ‘A machine’
• About the EMG Initiative”: ‘…semantics - the resource…’ would be better as ‘…semantics; the resource…’ (style point)
• 'not-for profit’should be ‘not-for-profit’
• last sentence doesn’t quite work: would be better with “…the laboratory and the information systems…” (added ‘the’) the bit after the comma (“…and of our community” etc) doesn’t make sense. The weblinks are the connections of our community? Need a different word instead of ‘of’. “…and ___ our communtiy taking both these needs into account.” indicate, show, allow (our community to take…), facilitate, symbolize, demonstrate. Depends exactly what it’s trying to say, which I’m not sure about!
• “Use EMG Terminology”:
• “Our adopters page provides examples…”, does it? To me this a list of organisations, there are no examples shown. Maybe rephrase to “Our adopters page provides links to organizations who have adopted our terminology, each of which contains examples of how it is technically implemented.” (if this is the case)
• “activities such as writing a paper, or teaching”, need comma after ‘activites’, not after ‘paper’
• “ORCiD”, elsewhere on the website this is written as “ORCID”. The logo uses a small ‘i’, but on their website they seem to capitalise the whole word in any text, so maybe change this one to be consistent.
• Feedback” ORCiD again
• should the line “If you want to stay informed…” be its own line and not a bullet point? The next two bullets folow on from it. Or these two should be second-order bullets.
• ‘joining our mailing list’ shoud be ‘join our mailing list’
• the two ‘joining’ links are mailto links? I expected to go to a sign-up page or something. Maybe change to: joining one of our regular development meetings (email us for details). join our mailing list (email us to be added, mails go out approx four times a month)
• ‘linkedIn’ needs capital ‘L’
• Adding Mag.Dr. title to Clemens Mangler
