subject concept in a generic hierarchical concept system. A descrip element that has
a type attribute value of broaderConceptGeneric can also have a target attribute
pointing to the entry ID of the termEntry that contains the broader concept. Generic
relations between concepts are "is-a" relations. This means that the narrower concept
"is an" instance of its broader generic concept. For example, a dog is a canine

concepts are "has-a" relations. This means that the broader partitive concept "has"
its narrower concepts as parts of itself.

element that has a type attribute value of otherBinaryData can also have a target
attribute pointing to the ID of a refObject in the back matter of the TBX document

abbreviatedFormFor
(abbreviatedFormFor) A link used to identify a relation between a term that is an

directionality
(directionality) A data-category that, through the value of its target attribute,
indicates the preferred translation of the term in the term element of the current
tig from among the available translations in the entry. The target attribute should
point to the identifier of the tig corresponding to the target term. In the case of
the values monodirectional and bidirectional, the target term is the preferred
translation. The content of the termNote element when it has a type attribute value
of directionality indicates the scope of directionality, and shall be one of the
following: * monodirectional: The translation is only preferred going from the source
language (current tig to the target language (target tig). * bidirectional: The
translation is preferred in both directions, i.e. the term in the target tig is a
preferred translation of the term in the current tig and vice-versa. *
incommensurate: The relation between the term in the current tig and the term in the
target tig as translations is imperfect and should be used with care. In this case,
the concepts are not equal. A should be used to provide information about the
difference between the concepts. * undetermined: The scope of directionality has not
been determined.

morphologically similar to the subject term in the entry, but that does not represent
the same concept. For example, in French, the term réaliser means "to accomplish",
and therefore, it is a false friend of the English term realize (i.e. to become
conscious of). A termNote element with the type attribute value of falseFriend can
also have a target attribute whose value is a pointer to a term in another entry. The
element content shall be expressed in basicText.

homograph
(homograph) A word that is spelled like the subject term in the entry, but that has a
different meaning, and origin. Homographs are terms that have the same written form,

of homograph can also have a target attribute to point to the tig of the entry that

the term is used. A given term can have more than one pronunciation depending on the
geographical area in which the term is used. In this case use a separate tig or ntig
element for each pronunciation, and indicate the gegraphical area of each by using a
termNote element with a type attribute value of geographicalUsage. The element
content shall be expressed in basicText.
proprietaryRestriction
(proprietaryRestriction) A restriction placed on a term for the purpose of protecting
the right of an organization to the exclusive use of the term. The content of the
termNote element when it has a type attribute value of proprietaryRestriction shall
be one of: trademark, serviceMark or tradeName. The content value "copyright" is not
included because copyright only applies to larger text units, such as books, not to

content of the termNote element when it has a type attribute value of register shall
be one of: * colloquialRegister * neutralRegister * technicalRegister *
in-houseRegister * bench-levelRegister * slangRegister * vulgarRegister
shortFormFor
(shortFormFor) A linking element used to identify a relation between the subject term
when it is a short form, and its full or expanded form. It may be coupled with a
target attribute to point to the full or expanded form. Normally both the short form
and the full form will be contained in the same entry, but each in its own tig,
because they represent the same concept. For example, the term United States could
have the following markup to point to the full form term United States of America:
United States of America. The content of the element would be the target term,
expressed in basicText, which allows the user to see the target term without going to
its location in the entry. The identification of a relation between a short form and
its full form indicates which term in a terminological entry is the full form of the
short form.

timeRestriction
(timeRestriction) The indication of a period of time during or since which a term was
or has been subject to specified usage. For example, several European countries have
redefined the requirements for certain university degrees in recent years. If, for
instance, the requirements for a baccalaureate degree changed from three to four
years in 1993, then any terminology entry defining the term used to designate this
degree would have to specify the time restriction affecting the definition, which
would be different before 1993 and after 1993. The element content shall be expressed
in plainText.
transferComment
(transferComment) Note included in a term entry providing information on the degree
of equivalence, directionality or other special features affecting equivalence
between a term in one language and another term in a second language. This element
