The entries in TBX-ISO-TML are structured in three
hierarchical levels commonly referred to as the
concept, language, and term
levels. The various data categories are associated with
certain levels.
The concept level corresponds to the
<tbx:termEntry> element and its
immediate children, the language level corresponds to
the <tbx:langSet> element and its
immediate children, and the term level corresponds to
the <tbx:tig> element and its
immediate children.
The elements at the term level must be entered in the
order specified for <tbx:tig>
The following sample entry shows the levels and several
of their associated data categories. In this sample,
only xGraphic occurs at the concept level, a
note and a definition occur at the
language level, and data categories that describe terms,
such as part of speech, normative
authorization and usage note occur at the
term level. There are two language sections provided for
demonstration purposes, one for English and one (empty
here) for French.
