The fishing industry's glossary is now available online

The fishing industry's collection of terms that is now published on the web brings together various terms from the fishing industry and gives them a clearer meaning. Attempts have been made to do this with both words and pictures. The museum was originally created in connection with the project "Increased value of data. "

The collection of information in the project "Increased value of data" revealed that the understanding of individual words and concepts is difficult to understand and that the same word can have different meanings between parties. Obviously, there is nothing more important in communicating about great value than having a coherent meaning in words and concepts.

The customs register contains over 100 terms, some difficult to understand and others not used in the right context. There are repeated misunderstandings in the classification and product descriptions due to this. The glossary can therefore undoubtedly be useful in the preparation of product descriptions in the customs register and in the drafting of regulations and laws of the public sector, it can also make communication between business partners more targeted. This glossary will also be useful to employees in the fisheries sector, in the preparation of product descriptions and other communications where it will be possible to refer to the glossary as a source.

The glossary can be accessed here (best viewed in Acrobat Reader).

As this is the first edition of the collection, all comments are welcome and will be appreciated Páll Gunnar Pálsson at Matís receive them as well as provide further information if requested.
