Identifier: abbreviatedFormFor   Type: complex/open   Origin: ISO12620   Profile: Terminology

Definition: A linking element used to identify a relation between any abbreviated form of a word or term and its full or expanded form.
Source: ISO12620

Explanation: The identification of a relation between an abbreviated form and its full form enables a database designer to indicate in a machine-readable way which of several possible synonyms appearing in a lex-term entry comprises the base form on which the abbreviation is created and vice versa. Ordinarily, both forms will appear in the same language section, although this is not necessarily mandatory. In many special languages, for instance in the terminology associated with the World Wide Web, English abbreviations are commonly used in other languages, but the English full form is avoided in favor of a translated or other equivalent full form in the language in question. Hence it could occur that an abbreviation cited in a language B is accompanied by a link pointing to the English language full form.

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Explanation: TBX-Basic uses /obsolete/ as a member of the value domain for /usage status/ instead of /superseded term/.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 For purposes of consistency, "obsolete" will be treated as an alternate data category name for /superseded term/.

Example: In plastics terminology, the generic term reformulated plastic has been superseded by the more precise terms recycled plastic, reprocessed plastic, and reworked plastic.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

Identifier: clippedTermFor   Type: complex/open   Origin: ?   Profile: Terminology

Definition: A linking element used to identify a relation between a clipped term and its full or expanded form.
Source: ISO12620

Explanation: The identification of a relation between a clipped term and its full form enables a database designer to indicate in a machine-readable way which of several possible synonyms appearing in a lex-term entry comprises the base form on which the clipped term is created and vice versa. Ordinarily, both forms will appear in the same language section, although this is not necessarily mandatory. In many special languages, for instance in the vocabulary associated with the World Wide Web, English clipped terms are commonly used in other languages, but the English full form is avoided in favor of a translated or other equivalent full form in the language in question. Hence it could occur that a clipped term cited in a language B is accompanied by a link pointing to the English language full form.

Definition: A code used to identify a terminological data record (concept record or concept entry) in order to link physical elements to form a virtual concept entry.
Source: ISO12620

Definition: A code used to identify a concept associated with a terminological entry in a termbase,concept system, or ontological resource.
Source: SEW, provisional suggestion

Example: If this data element specification were treated as a terminological entry, the position number A.10.14 could be used as a concept identifier.
Source: ISO16642

Example: In RDF modeling environments, the concept identifier would in all likelihood be expressed as a URI.
Source: SEW

Explanation: A concept identifier is used in cases where several records can pertain to the same concept, in which instance the record identifiers for the various records will differ, necessitating the inclusion of a linking identifier in order to maintain the integrity of the overall concept entry. Concept identifiers are also essential in systematically organized terminologies, where they are used as cross-reference identifiers from alphabetical lists. They are also listed separately in environments where a stable entry identifier is needed, but the virtual entry identifier can be subject to change as a result of database management considerations.

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: Mitre; TEI

Explanation: Note 1: Equivalent phrases in one language can in many instances equate to single or multiword terms or compound words in other languages. Note 2: Multilingual term pairs can be identified as equivalent or quasi-equivalent, depending on the degree of similarity in their underlying concepts, and they can also be qualified as bidirectional or monodirectional, depending on whether the equivalence relationship operates in one or both directions (see directionality, A.3.3). Nonequivalence is also frequently listed as a degree of equivalence, but nonequivalents require different treatment because they will not appear as equivalent terms in the same term entry (see false friend, A.3.2).

Definition: A term or lexeme in one language that only appears to have formal or semantic similarity with a term or lexeme in another language, but that does not represent the same concept.
Source: ISO12620

Explanation: False friends are frequently false cognates, i.e., terms that appear to be the same or very similar in etymological origin, but do not have the same meaning in both languages. They can also be false calques or false loan translations, i.e., literal translations that are incorrect or misleading, either because a proper equivalent already exists in the target language or because the elements used in a translation equivalent are not themselves equivalent to those used in the source language. If an entry is present in a language resource for the term or word designated as a false friend, there should be a reference to this entry.

Definition: A property of equivalence imposed at the global information level of a bi- or multilingual glossary whereby the equivalence relation expressed by the glossary applies only from the specified source language to the specified target language.
Source: SEW

Example: ja --> en
Source: SEW

Explanation: File directionality applies primarily for simple glossary files that might be used in localization environments or in conjunction with MT lexicons. Technically the form of the conceptual domain should be limited to the statement of an SL in the form of an IETF BCP 47 language tag, some sort of directionality symbol, followed by the statement in a TL, also in the form of an IETF BCP 47 language tag. This constraint could conceivably be imposed at the application level.
Source: SEW

Note: Currently ISO 30042 does not accommodate the inclusion of such a DC, but it could be added to an XCS file in order to augment TBX functionality. The TBX level should be GI. Note also that the conceptual domain could be constrained to "a" language tag, but does not allow for a complex expression of multiple language tags. Therefore the conceptual domain is modelled simply as a string.

Identifier: fullFormFor   Type: complex/open   Origin: ?   Profile: Terminology

Definition: A linking element used to identify a relation between any full form of a term or lexical unit and its abbreviated form.
Source: ISO12620

Explanation: The identification of a relation between a full form and its abbreviated form enables a database designer to indicate in a machine-readable way which of several possible synonyms appearing in an entry comprises the base form on which the abbreviation is created and vice versa. Ordinarily, both terms or lexical units will appear in the same language section, although this is not necessarily mandatory. In many special languages, for instance in the vocabulary associated with the World Wide Web, English abbreviations are commonly used in other languages, but the English full form is avoided in favor of a translated or other equivalent full form in the language in question. Hence it could occur that an abbreviation cited in a language B is accompanied by a link pointing to the English language full form.

Source: Mitre; TEI(green text); 1951

Explanation: As opposed to polysemic terms, which involve the same words being applied to different concepts, homographs are words that are derived from different etymological origins. Homograph is most likely to occur as a pointer to the entry for the other instance or instances where the word is used in association with a different concept. A homograph number is a sequential number used to distinguish homographs. Although many print dictionaries use superscripts for homograph numbers, this convention has been infrequently facilitated in traditional databases. It is easily achieved in Graphical User Interfaces (GUI applications).

Identifier: initialismFor   Type: complex/open   Origin: ?   Profile: Terminology

Definition: A linking element used to identify a relation between an initialism and its full or expanded form.
Source: ISO12620

Explanation: The identification of a term relation between an initialism and its full form enables a termbase designer to indicate in a machine-readable way which of several possible synonyms appearing in a terminological entry comprises the base form on which the initialism is created and vice versa. Ordinarily, both terms will appear in the same language section, although this is not necessarily mandatory. In many special languages, for instance in the terminology associated with the World Wide Web, English initialisms are commonly used in other languages, but the English full form is avoided in favor of a translated or other equivalent full form in the language in question. Hence it could occur that an initialism cited in a language B is accompanied by a link pointing to the English language full form.

Explanation: Terminology management can be categorized as systematic, i.e., viewing the terminology of a whole subject field and its conceptual relationships, or ad hoc, i.e., documenting individual terms and concepts as needed. Ad hoc terminology management can also be text-oriented, treating the terms and concepts used in a given text or text corpus. Terminology management can be descriptive or prescriptive, depending on the purpose for which it is performed.

Definition: A linking element used to identify a relation between a short form and its full or expanded form.
Source: ISO12620

Explanation: The identification of a relation between a short form and its full form enables a database designer to indicate in a machine-readable way which of several possible synonyms appearing in a lex-term entry comprises the base form on which the short form is created and vice versa. Ordinarily, both terms will appear in the same language section, although this is not necessarily mandatory. In some cases, English short forms could be used in other languages, but the English full form is avoided in favor of a translated or other equivalent full form in the language in question. Hence it could occur that a short form cited in a language B is accompanied by a link pointing to the English language full form.

Is a: noun

Definition: a common noun that can be modified by a numeral and occur in both singular and plural form, as well as co-occurring with quantificational determiners like every, each, several, etc.
Source: Wikipedia

Example: book, dog, horse, house
Source: SEW

Explanation: In contrast to count nouns, mass nouns have none of these properties. They can't be modified by a numeral, occur in singular/plural or co-occur with the relevant kind of determiner.
Source: Wikipedia

Note: Identifying count nouns and mass nouns is critical in translation environments because these properties are not always shared across language barriers. For instance, English information is a mass noun that cannot be pluralized, whereas Informationen in German can serve as a plural, equivalent to "items of information" in English.

Explanation: Within a language resource database, a set of subject fields, domains or classification codes will generally be defined. More than one subject field can be indicated for a given concept, and subject fields can be designated hierarchically as subfields by indicating a level index. Three levels are typical, although additional levels up to 9 are practically possible.

Explanation: [Suggested addition: More elaborate systems can involve links to ontological resources.
Source: SEW

Note: There is some confusion in different versions of 1087-1 and 10241 concerning whether /domain/ or /subject field/ is the preferred term. At this juncture, term usage is not as important for data categories as field name usage, and many current termbases have used /subject field/ in compliance with ISO 12620:1999. The suggestion might be made to set both options to standardized.

Identifier: obsoleteForm   Type: simple   Origin: ISO 12620:1999   Profile: Terminology

Definition: A term or lexeme which is no longer in common use.
Source: ISO12620

Explanation: The difference between a superseded form and an obsolete form is that a superseded form has changed its status as defined by a normative body, but can indeed still be used in older standards or in nonstandardized environments. In contrast, an obsolete form has truly fallen out of common usage. Some obsolete forms are also archaic, i.e., of very ancient etymological origin, but this does not have to be the case. By the same token, many forms in current usage are nonetheless archaic in origin. Outdated forms are similar to superseded forms, but they are not subject to normative classification.
Source: ISO 12620:1999

Explanation: TBX-Basic co-opts "obsolete" as a value for "administrative status", although in TBX-Default and 12620:1999, it is a value of "temporal qualifier".

Explanation: Terms can consist of single words or be composed of multiword strings. The distinguishing characteristic of a term is that it is assigned to a single concept, as opposed to a phraseological unit, which combines more than one concept in a lexicalized fashion to express complex situations. Quality assurance system is a term, whereas satisfy quality requirements is a phraseological unit, specifically a collocation.

Source: For definition of related term, see ISO 5127-6:1983, 3.4.2-02.

Explanation: Although concept systems and thesauri can both be used to represent information and knowledge, concept systems are used to represent concept structures in terminology and information management, whereas thesauri are constructed specifically for information retrieval purposes in library science and documentation environments. The two traditions are subject to different conventions and rules and would not normally be combined. Nevertheless, a terminological entry can indicate that a term is a thesaurus descriptor in a documentary language. A number used to represent concept position or the position of a thesaurus descriptor is frequently called a notation.
