Long German word

[yakalskovich]

For woelfle and wiebke, who might be amused by such a thing.

This is a word I just actually used in an email:

Konkurrenzauswertungsobjekterfassungsbesonderheiten

I admit, it was a bit tongue-in-cheek, but I used it in a useful context. I know, there are much longer ones, but do they actually get used?

German is great for long words! What does that one mean? Certain bits of it ring bells but GCSEs were sooo long ago...

Oh dear, it's so complicated publishing jargon, I can hardly translate it. "The specialties in inputting data on objects belonging to rival publishers for statistic purposes" is roughly what it means.
