SDL MultiTerm is a concept-oriented system which means that each termbase entry corresponds to a single concept.
A single termbase entry contains all the terms that describe a concept, as well as any additional information associated with that concept. For each concept you can specify terms in multiple languages.

If you are using SDL MultiTerm as a knowledge base system you may want to use the index fields to categorize information primarily according to subject rather than language. |
Typically a termbase entry contains:
Every termbase entry is automatically given a number that is unique in the termbase.
At least one term.
A definition of the item that is referenced using the term or terms in the entry. The description may also contain other supporting information such as an image file or a link to a web page.
Other language versions of terms.
Server-based termbase entries contain an Entry class field. Entry classes are used to control user access to server-based termbases.
