French term or phrase: repere projet
Hello,
I'm translating a document tendering for the production of e-learning material. On the title page there is a list which includes "repère projet" followed by "référence"... my guess is that the first one is "project reference", but I'm not sure in that case about "référence" ..
thanks.

Explanation:
An identification code perhaps?

" Coordonnées
Les formes géométriques que vous créez sont mémorisées avec une grande précision (15 chiffres significatifs!) dans
un système de coordonnées cartésien unique, dit **repère projet**.
Les coordonnées permettent de définir un point: ce sont les distances selon l’axe X et l’axe y entre le point considéré et l’origine du repère."

Project benchmark


Explanation:
Project benchmark - preset marker/checkpoint used in the development of a project, for evaluation/assessment purposes.

Example sentence:
"The Project Benchmark Report intends to provide the following information:
* Provide a benchmark of this project against projects in the repository with similar characteristics.
* Provide your organisation with data to assist future project estimation."
www.isbsg.org/isbsgnew.nsf/WebPages/.../$file/Project%20Benchmark%20Report%20sample%20110707.pd

bench' mark n.
1. a mark of known or assumed elevation from which other elevations may be established. Abbr: BM.
2. BENCHMARK. bench'mark or <bench' mark > n.
1. a standard or reference by which others can be measured or judged.

Examples of use, in the references below.

A project reference has a different meaning.

"A project reference is a property that you can set for a project so that it can be referenced by another project. When one project references another, the files in the referenced project are available for reuse." publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wmbhelp/v6r0m0/topic/com.ibm.etools.mft.doc/ab19480_.htm

Since the context is not clear, the term might be about any of these two possible meanings. However, given that you also have 'reference' further down the line, I incline to favour "project benchmark" - not reference, but evaluation mark.
