Spanish term or phrase: alimentar una herramienta/un portal web
Hi everyone,

I have come across this expression, and am confused as to how to render it accurately in English. The 'herramienta' in question is a software tool designed for the exchange of information pertaining to the environment, and is contained on a 'portal' run by a public environmental management body. Here are two sentences in which it appears:

1) En relación con esto, se ha desarrollado una herramienta de intercambio de información ambiental de producto, albergada en el portal de Internet www.xxx.net. Se ha decidido que los proyectos de documentación de datos técnicos vayan orientados a ***alimentar esta herramienta***.

2) Por ello, una vez asignados los alumnos a sus respectivos proyectos de fin de carrera, se ha sectorizado el trabajo de documentación con el fin de que el trabajo desarrollado para la ***alimentación del portal web*** sirviera también como fuente de información para sus proyectos.

All suggestions are appreciated.

Regards,

Jack

  -> Thanks, Cristina :)
agree  philgoddard: I'd say "feed into" rather than "feed". "Feed a tool" sounds odd.

  -> Thanks, Phil - I know it sounds odd but it's used like that.

  -> Thanks, Domingo :)
agree  neilmac: In this context, "data to feed this tool" sounds OK to me too.
16 hrs
  -> Cheers, Neil :)
agree  Roxana Bassi: "Feed" es adecuado técnicamente, ya que se refiere a que un proceso externo alimenta el sitio automáticamente. (Ing en sistemas)
