Document Storage System Translation Projection Management
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Information handling systems face challenges in efficiently managing and revising translated documents across multiple languages and versions, particularly in maintaining the priority and status of documents while ensuring that useful knowledge is not lost when documents are superseded by translations.
Innovation Solution
A distributed document storage system that includes modules for reception, storage, association, priority, status management, and translation, utilizing machine, human, and agent translation methods to manage document revisions and translations, ensuring that the most effective versions are prioritized and maintained across languages.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If a document is superseded by a translation, then translation completeness is improved, but knowledge loss increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by creating translation projection documents before final translations are completed. These projection documents preserve the original knowledge content and structure, serving as a safeguard against knowledge loss while the translation process progresses.
Solution Approach 2:
Translation projection documents serve as an intermediary between the original document and the final translation. They maintain the knowledge content while allowing the translation to progress, acting as a buffer that prevents direct knowledge loss during the translation superseding process.
2Manufacturing precision
If multiple document versions and translations are maintained, then translation completeness is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments document management into distinct components: original documents, translation projection documents, and final translations. Each segment has a specific role and status, making the overall system more manageable despite handling multiple versions and languages.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements dynamic status management for documents and translations, where items can transition between different states (e.g., draft, approved, superseded). This dynamic approach allows the system to adapt to changing translation states without requiring rigid structural complexity.
Data Source
AI summary
A method includes creating a first document in a first language and translating the first document into a second language, thereby producing a second document. The translated document is revised directly in the second language, thereby producing a third document. A document storage system stores the three documents and stores data about the three documents. The data includes data representing that the second document is a translation of the first document and that the third document is a revision of the translation of the first document.
