TBX-Basic

PID: http://www.isocat.org/datcat/DC-70

Identifier: administrativeStatus   Type: complex/closed   Origin: ISO 12620:1999   Profile: Terminology

Definition: The status of a term with respect to its assignment to an administrative level within a certain working environment.
Source: ISO12620:1999
Note: Indicator for controlled authoring and controlled translation purposes that indicates the acceptability level for a term.

Definition: Indicator for controlled authoring and controlled translation purposes that indicates the acceptability level for a term.
Source: Based on TBX-Basic

Explanation: The actual status of terms themselves with respect to standardization is treated under /normative authorization/ in DC specification http://www.isocat.org/datcat/DC-374. This category should be accompanied by or linked to a reference to the administrative organization in question. Examples of administrative status can include references to individuals, working groups, committees, or the like who have recommended or are currently conducting work on a term.
Source: ISO 12620:1999

Explanation: Although "administrativeStatus" is used as the identifier for internal representation, "usage status" is the interface form used in TBX-Basic. Many applications use simply "status" or "term status" at the interface level.
Source: SEW

Explanation: TBX-Basic uses /obsolete/ as a member of the value domain for /usage status/ instead of /superseded term/. This is potentially confusing because /obsolete/ is part of the value domain for /temporal qualifier/ in TBX-Default. For purposes of consistency, "obsolete" will be treated as an alternate data category name for /superseded term/.

Example: In plastics terminology, the generic term reformulated plastic has been superseded by the more precise terms recycled plastic, reprocessed plastic, and reworked plastic.
Source: ISO12620

Explanation: TBX-Basic co-opts /obsolete/ from /temporal qualifier/ to use with /administrative status/. Although the notion of "obsolete term" is more familiar than "superseded term", linguists made a definite distinction between the two concepts, whereby "obsolete" refers to a term or name that has fallen out of common usage over time, whereas "superseded" refers to a formerly official term or name that has purposefully been replaced with a new designator. In many cases, superseded terms/names are not necessarily obsolete at all, and obsolete terms/names do not necessarily have a form that supersedes them.

Explanation: The layout YYYY-MM-DD according to ISO 8601, with the possibility of expansion to date and time, e.g., YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss, should be used to represent dates. If a database does not use this format, conversion of date-related data can be required before interchanging data. The “date” category can be associated with virtually any element in any kind of record. It can be used as an administrative notation to indicate times when records are entered, edited or approved, or it can be part of the actual knowledge content in the record itself, such as in a bibliographic record.
Source: ISO 12620:1999

Explanation: Comment 1: Language and country symbols can be combined. Comment 2: If available and relevant, the content of geographical usage should be a country symbol as specified in ISO 3166-1 or one of the continent names. In more granular systems, specific regional names can be used, but should be declared elsewhere in the system for user understanding and coherence in the event of data exchange. The country symbol can optionally be preceded by a NOT operator to negate the content.

Identifier: informativeMessage   Type: simple   Origin:    Profile: Terminology

Definition: A short communicative text generated by a computer application or system and displayed by the interface intended to inform the user of errors, system status or the like.
Source: Dandelion

Explanation: Informative messages can appear in the status bar at the bottom of the screen, in balloons, or in desktop alerts (messages that pop up from the Windows notification area). For example, a message in a program might tell the user the location within a document. A command message in the status bar tells the user what the selected command will do. A desktop alert might notify the user of new mail. Generally the present tense is used for informative messages that explain what a command does.
