alimentar una herramienta/un portal web
Spanish to English

IT (Information Technology)
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

: I'd say "feed into" rather than "feed". "Feed a tool" sounds odd.

Roxana Bassi
: "Feed" es adecuado técnicamente, ya que se refiere a que un proceso externo alimenta el sitio automáticamente. (Ing en sistemas)

supply (the tool, etc) with data
You "feed/populate" etc or "supply" the tool with data...

Woops, my bad. I entered xxx so as not to reveal the identity of the company in question. I hadn't vouched for the x-rated link! So sorry about that.
