Abstract
Effective communication is vital for academic project success, particularly in multidisciplinary teams with diverse backgrounds and disciplines. Misunderstandings can arise from differing interpretations of terms, which may go unnoticed. VisDict aims to bridge this gap by creating a visual dictionary within a science gateway to facilitate clear communication between workflow providers and domain researchers. This innovative approach translates computational science concepts into fields like physics and biology. This article delves into our method for building the visual dictionary, the insights gained from curating initial entries, and future plans for automated expansion and illustration of relevant terms.
