Tech/Engineering - IT (Information Technology) / information interoperability
English term or phrase: engineering
OWL, which stands for Web ontology language, is what the semantic Web relies on for its communication standard and The Open Group is working on universal data element framework (UDEF), which is a more pragmatic, {engineering} solution based on how you index metadata.
感觉它在这里是个形容词。

IMHO
Explanation:
If you analyze the relevant clause by diagramming, it will tell you – it is an adjective”.

I prefer to look at it as a “Gerund” or 動名詞 – to form compound noun “engineering solution” – because in the course of faithful translation, we need to consider “… a more pragmatic, engineering solution” all together.

The key here is to “grasp what the writer is trying to say”!
(also considering what kind of audience you are addressing!)

If the point here is “it is not a fundamental solution but just for the convenient of design approach”, then “engineering” (as a gerund) could mean “design” or “application” 設計 or 應用.

I am not an IT expert; I am looking forward to read more answers by others!

In the examples I cited, the verb "engineer" means manage successfully, cleverly, effectively.

Example sentence(s):
  • engineer as a verb: The politician engineered the defeat of his opponent. / He engineered my promotion.
