référentiel

French to English translations [PRO]
Law/Patents - Law: Contract(s)
French term or phrase: référentiel
In a legal contract defining "confidential party information":

"[T]outes les informations associées à l’activité économique, aux affaires, opérations, activités, projets ou ***référentiels*** des Parties."

I've found "supporting documents", "product/information databases", and "reference works", but given the context and the other categories listed, all three seem off. Any thoughts?

neutral  Daryo: could do if it's an individual, but what would be the "job profile" of a company ???

neutral  AllegroTrans: cab't quite see how parties to a contract (most probably companies) will have a "job profile"

  -> In the absence of greater context, I'm assuming that this is one of the things that must be kept confidential. For example, IT companies often have access to this kind of information about clients and are prevented from disclosing it.

référentiels
repositories


Explanation:
Référentiel is often used to mean a repository, (a data storage centre), especially in an IT context. I believe this translation would make sense here as the contract refers to confidential information that has been stored. Please see below links to previous discussions on Proz and another forum that support this suggestion.

(corporate) information framework


Explanation:
Référentiel d’entreprise

Famille : Organisation

Termes équivalents : Enterprise architecture

Définition BPMS

La notion de référentiel sous-entend un ensemble partagé et généralement structuré d’informations. On parlera de référentiel d’entreprise dans le cas d’une base de données unique intégrant le plus souvent des référentiels métier (vues processus et organisation) et des référentiels techniques (systèmes d’information et outils informatiques le plus souvent). Ce référentiel pourra également, selon les besoins intégrer des vues spécifiques : lexique, risques, compétences (requises par les tâches / acquises par le personnel), environnement légal, pilotage stratégique (indicateurs rattachés à des projets adressant un objectif stratégique), pilotage opérationnel (indicateurs rattachés à des objectifs opérationnels)…

En résumé, le référentiel d’entreprise constitue l’épine dorsale autour de laquelle s’organisent toutes les démarches de formalisation, de communication et de pilotage de l’entreprise.
