| Registration Status | private |
| Administration Status | private |
| Justification | Traditional usage in terminology management, currently deprecated. |
| Origin | ISO 12620:1999 |
| Explanatory Comment | Deprecated as a parallel function to lexicography; the preferred approach is to declare a term as a preferred term rather than as a main entry term and to allow the principle of term autonomy whereby all terms are treated as "equals" with respect to documentation. |
| Unresolved issue | The practice is still supported by the Translation-oriented Terminology standard, which requires updating. |
