2.1.2 Explanation Section
Explanation
Terminology databases that are linked to inventory control systems and manufacturing logistical systems include skus and part numbers, which act as designations within the system representing the object in question. Hence they function much like terms and even take on the character of terms in common discourse and text creation.
