French term

homogénéisation

French to English Marketing Surveying research analysis
this is for a German audience so I want something clear. The information gathered is from diverse sources etc. so
Il y aura donc un travail significatif d’homogénéisation des informations.
How can I put it so that it sounds reasonable and not pompous ?

Just checking...lol. Have a nice day.
ormiston (asker) Jun 8, 2008:
thanks for getting back to me Matthew - I did also like your suggestion
MatthewLaSon Jun 8, 2008:
"Standardardizing information" would indeed imply how the information is presented. standardardize = to set out coherently. Example: Information on driver's licenses is standardized (the licenses use the same format to indicate the necessary info)
ormiston (asker) Jun 6, 2008:
everyone is pointing in the same direction - but one must avoid implying that the information is somehow MASSAGED. Euquinimod to me is onto the right track - but dare one go as far as to say 're-format / reconcile / adjust' ?

standardization

Hello,

This is way major project to standardize information (make all the same). That's why the other answerers are getting the idea of "consistency."

I hope this helps.
