Recommendations
Minor Improvements (Optional)
-
Add examples to remaining 47 terms - Current coverage is 81%, target is 80%+ so this meets standards, but additional examples would enhance understanding.
-
Consider consolidating plural variants - Terms like "Bar Chart" and "Bar Charts" could potentially be merged, though having both allows for specific citations.
-
Expand cross-references - Adding "See also" links between related concepts (e.g., linking Bloom's levels to each other) could aid navigation.
No Action Required
- Definition quality meets all ISO 11179 criteria
- Length distribution is appropriate
- Readability is appropriate for target audience
- All structural requirements met
