Here are some key points to remember:
- Textual supports included on terminology records should reveal information about the concept and about term usage in a clear, concise and understandable manner.
- Definitions should include the essential and delimiting semantic features of the concept being defined.
- Guidelines for writing definitions must be respected. There are commonly accepted guidelines as well as those established by you or your organization for your terminological data collection.
- Contexts, usage samples and phraseologisms may be included on terminology records to show how terms are actually used in a specialized language.
- Observations or notes are a good way to clarify potentially confusing situations for your users, but they should be kept as brief as possible.
