"introduction":"With ACORN, we aim to standardize and automate the research content creation process so we can better represent our projects, capabilities, technology and, most importantly, our people at ORNL.",
"challenge":"Communicating research breakthroughs is often done through fact sheets and posters as physical mediums. These provide a high-level overview of projects and groups for sponsors, research peers, government officials, and the public. They can also serve as recruitment tools, marketing materials and watershed pieces for holistic lab communication.",
"approach":"ACORN provides a standardized way to describe and validate research content. The TypeSpec language enables ACORN to create content in a standardized way that can be easily shared and edited by different teams. The content is then automatically validated.",
"challenge":"Research project communication mediums should be straightforward and standardized. However, the creation process is often cumbersome, involving multiple editing rounds among different teams. Once created, there is often no version control, stewardship or central content repository.",
"approach":"ACORN schemas describe and validate research content through TypeSpec language which enables easily shareable content in standardized templates. A prose linter automatically validates language and structure, and GitLab accessibility allows collaboration to maintain accurate, creative, organized content products and repositories.",
