Concept definitions

Concept definitions in Terminus describe relevant terms of an area according to an ISO 1087 concept system. Terminus supports several requirements of a concept system as generalization references and referenced in, synonyms, but not all.

The basic idea of the concept system is defining terms used in an area with a specific meaning and describing the relationships between these terms.

Concepts might be linked to topics in order to explain terms used in the topic. Vice versa, each concept lists all the topics referring to it.

The defined concept system might be checked for missing definitions and circular definitions. One may also start from concept system to generate a first draft of the terminology model.
