Thread:Project:Support desk/integrate the terms in Speedia to a 3rd party software that checks for terminology consistency in documents

Is there a way to integrate the terms in Mediawiki to a 3rd party software that checks for terminology consistency in documents?

We are thinking about Acrolinx, http://www.acrolinx.com/terminologymanagement.html, but we haven’t implemented it yet. This application is used to ensure consistency of usage, not to provide the definitions. I envision Acrolinx getting the list of words to check from the glossary we are creating or at least us having the option to export the list to Excel or CSV so we can import it into Acrolinx. We provide the content for online help in the SIS applications so I don’t think it is feasible security-wise for the words to link back to Mediawiki. One possibility, though would be for us to develop the glossary in XML and have Mediawiki use the same XML files as we use for its source. '''Speaking of that, what IS the best way to provide the content to Mediawiki without having to type it all in? '''
