Definition: This is a generic reference marker used to link together any two related entries in the lexicon. The content is a vernacular lexeme. If the relationship is known, the lexical function lf field is a better way to cross-reference two lexemes.

Definition: This field crosses over with the de, ue, and oe fields, but is intended for more verbose explanations of the headword (for each sense). The researcher should use this field to encode any additional information needed by a non-native speaker to understand and use this lexeme properly. Use capitalization and punctuation as needed.

Is a: special language

Definition: A reference book containing an alphabetical list of words, with information given for each word, usually including meaning, pronunciation, and etymology.
Source: http://education.yahoo.com/reference/dictionary/entry/dictionary

Explanation: The critical issue is that the lexicographical dictionary is word-oriented, while the terminological dictionary is concept-oriented.

Is a: special language

Definition: An electronic lexical resource designed to be consulted by human being that can be loaded in a database and can be queried via application software.
Source: ISO 24613-2008, 3.29, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine-readable_dictionary

Explanation: It may be a single language explanatory dictionary or a multi-language dictionary to support translations between two or more languages or a combination of both. Historically, MRDs were first computer representations of "printed" dictionaries, that's why they are called machine readable now.

Definition: The Record marker for each record in a lexical entry. It contains the lexeme or headword (which is commonly mono-morphemic). Since such a lexeme form is often not accessible for vernacular speakers if printed, use the lc field to provide a more readable form for vernacular speakers.
