6.3.3.2 Multilingual correspondence of terms
The correspondence between terms of the same concept in different languages can be of the following three types: 6
GB/T13725-2001
8) Complete correspondence
Concept The concept system is established independently in two languages. The definition of the concept expressed by the term and the position of the concept in the concept system are exactly the same in both languages.
b) Incomplete correspondence
When the concept cannot be completely matched in the two languages, but the difference can be translated by several terms of the two concepts, these terms should be listed under the entry and an annotation should be added to point out the difference and similarity. c) Completely no correspondence
When a concept has no corresponding term in the other language, the term (or blank) can be translated, and the position should be specially marked in the term base. 6.3.3.3 Description of data structure
The data structure can be described using an entity-relationship diagram (E-R diagram). See Appendix A. The entity-relationship diagram of the term base should separate each data element independently and describe the logical connection between different data elements in the term base. 6. 3.3.4 Modification of data structure

Terms should be selected from authoritative literature and approved by relevant experts. 6.4.3 Systematicity
The selection and collection of terms should be carried out systematically, and the integrity of the concept system should be guaranteed. 6.4.4 Consistency
When reviewing the terminology of the terminology database, it should be avoided that a concept in a professional field is expressed by multiple terms, or a term refers to multiple concepts, especially to avoid inconsistent definitions of the same concept. 6.5 Service methods of the terminology database
