@MoiraB: Were you planning on entering "notification collection" as an answer?

Kitty Brussaard Jul 13, 2016:

Both suggestions seem fine to me too attenderingscollectie > notification collection (as per NEN's website)
attenderingsnormen > standards in the notification collection

Basically, as Michael already explained, this all seems to be about some kind of 'update notification service' offered by NEN to which individuals/companies can subscribe so they will be kept updated on changes in the standards of their choice ('attenderingsnormen') which are included in their personal/customised 'attenderingscollectie'.

Michael Beijer Jul 13, 2016:

re "Attenderingsnormen" "Attenderingsnormen: Dit laat zien hoeveel normen u in uw attenderingscollectie heeft en hoeveel u er maximaal kunt opnemen, en hoeveel u jaarlijks kunt verwisselen en heeft gewisseld." (https://www.nen.nl/Welkom-bij-NEN-Connect-Kenniscentrum/Bedr... ; see screenshot of how it is used in the UI)

the "Attenderingsnormen" section on their website seems to refer to: how many standards in your collection are subject to the notification feature

indeed, sth like 'Standards in the Notification Collection' would work fine imo (better than sth cryptic like "notification standards", which is just making things weirder and weirder for the casual reader)

Michael Beijer Jul 13, 2016:

@katerina: no, I don't think it is about being able to comment on the standards (although this might also be possible in the system). users are able to buy collections of different NEN standards (I bought one years ago as reference material to something I was translating), and they can be notified if and when these standards change.

I'm stuck with 'attenderingsnormen' too yes alert/notification fit well, but it's difficult to make it into a normal-sounding adjective... 'Notification collection', OK, but what about 'Notification Standards'?


.... maybe i could just use 'Standards in the Notification Collection'

katerina turevich Jul 13, 2016:

it's an alert, all right you have to start with defining ' collectie'. It's about being able to post your own opinion on some kind of set rules? "Iedereen met toegang tot het systeem mag commentaar indienen. De enige verplichting die wij van u vragen is dat u bij uw commentaar ook een tegenvoorstel indient. U kunt ook het commentaar van andere commentaargevers inzien en daarop reageren.
De manier van commentaar invoeren is eenvoudig. U levert uw commentaar per onderdeel van de norm.
Het systeem heeft de mogelijkheid om marktpartijen direct uit te nodigen om commentaar te geven."
Alert settings?

Michael Beijer Jul 13, 2016:

since it is all over their website … I'd probably go with "notification collection" as per Moira's suggestion.

see e.g.

"Opting for the notification collection means you will be notified
of any changes to your collection of standards.
You can compile this collection yourself on the basis of the
number of standards agreed. You cannot view the standards
themselves; to do that, you need a customised or standard collection. " (https://www.nen.nl/Abonnementen/NEN-Connect/Optioneel.htm )

Michael Beijer Jul 13, 2016:

from their website: "Met een attenderingscollectie wordt u geattendeerd op alle
wijzigingen in uw normencollectie. Deze collectie kunt u zelf
samenstellen op basis van het afgesproken aantal normen.
U kunt de norm zelf niet inzien, daarvoor heeft u een maatwerk-
of standaardcollectie nodig." (https://www.nen.nl/Abonnementen/NEN-Connect/Attendering.htm )

so a "attenderingscollectie" is:

a type of NEN standards collection, where you are alerted (automatically?) re any changes in your standard collection.

so in a sense, the cryptic "notification collection" on the website is as cryptic as the Dutch, but not necessarily wrong.

MoiraB Jul 13, 2016:

I assume you don't like "notification collection" on the English version of that NEN page?
