ReVo seems to be better with technical terms than Vikivortaro seems to be. For example, Vikivortaro doesn’t even contain ‘parallelogram’, which ReVo does. On the other hand, Vikivortaro seems to be better in literary matters than ReVo seems to be. For example, Vikivortaro contains both ‘corpora’ and ‘phenomena’, neither of which does ReVo contain. (ReVo doesn’t even contain ‘phenomenon’!)

Another elementary technical term missing from Vikivortaro is ‘midpoint’. (It’s also missing from ReVo, but ReVo includes
‘mid-perpendicular’ – so in ReVo’s case it is more a matter of an oversight, whereas with Vikivortaro it is par for the course.)

Another elementary technical term that ReVo contains that Vikivortaro does not is ‘factorial’.

An interesting outlier case is ‘factorization’, which neither ReVo nor Vikivortaro contains, and which Benson and Wells contain only implicitly.

Indeed, ‘outlier’ is a technical term that suffers even more than ‘factorization’? Neither ReVo nor Vikivortaro contains it, and it is in Benson / Wells only to the extent that Benson contains ‘outlying’.

Another such example is ‘centroid’: ReVo has it, but Vikivortaro does not.

Another excellent example is ‘interval’: Vikivortaro contains translations for the ‘literary’ senses: ‘intertempo’, ‘interspaco’ and (the British) ‘interakto’, but fails to contain the translation for the mathematical sense: ‘intervalo’, which ReVo DOES contain, and which is corroborated by PIV.
