A terminology
database (“TD”) is an organized record of controlled vocabularies
and, optionally, their standard translations.
A terminology
database entry (“term entry” or “TD entry”) is a collection
of terms in one or more languages representing a single concept.
A terminology
database term (“term” or “TD term”) is an element of a terminology
database entry representing a single concept in a single language.
An attribute provides additional
information that can be attached to a term or term entry. Attributes
have types like: “Text Field,” “Selector,” “Date,” and so on. Term
and term entry attributes are defined on a global basis for terminology
databases; however, when you create a terminology database, you can
use attribute masking to determine which attributes apply to that
terminology database.
