<tbx:termEntry>

Term Entry (Concept Entry)

The <tbx:termEntry> element is the root element for a terminological entry, which contains all the elements, and their attributes, that describe a concept and all the terms that denote that concept, potentially in several languages.

Remarks

Content: The <tbx:termEntry> element is often referred to as the “concept level” of the entry. At this level, only external-type references (references that point to locations outside of the document) plus the various <tbx:langSet> elements are allowed.
ID Attribute: The @id attribute is a unique inside-the-document identifier that can be used to point to the term entry from other entries.
