<tbx:term> Term (TBX)

The <tbx:term> element encloses one representation of a concept by a sign which denotes it. This sign can be a textual “term”, a symbol, or a graphic. In glossaries and other terminology resources, designations are primarily “terms”, which is why the element <tbx:term> is used for all three types.

Usage/Remarks

Multiple Terms

The <tbx:term> element is repeatable within the term entry, as an entry can contain multiple designations, which are thus synonyms. Since it is extremely important that each <tbx:term> element encloses only one term, each term should be inside its own <tbx:tig> element. That is, do not include two terms in the same <tbx:term> element.
The following is an incorrect example because it contains both term: “access control list” and “ACL”. 
 BAD EXAMPLE
  <tbx:term>access control list (ACL)</tbx:term>
 BAD EXAMPLE

Attributes

The @id attribute provides a unique inside-the-document identifier for the term. This ID can be used for cross-referencing purposes, e.g., such as to allow a <tbx:crossReference> from another entry to point to this term, using its @target attribute to hold the @id of this term.
The language of the term is inherited from the @xml:lang attribute value on the parent <tbx:langSet> element.
