What is a termbase?

A term base is a database, which normally contains the company's own specific terms and fixed expressions and which gives all company employees access to the same terminology.

In WebWordSystem, we have expanded this concept.

In addition to the individual company's term base - Private area - we also have a common term base - Public area. Here, we wish to reap the benefits of the growing need for global knowledge sharing, as we are giving you the opportunity for making your own terms available to other users by transferring the terms to Public area. And similarly, other users are giving you the opportunity to find business-specific terminology.

In addition, all term bases are divided into language combinations and a number of business-specific areas, classified according to the ISIC classification, and it connects equivalents in different languages. (Equivalents are terms with nearly the same meaning, but in different languages.)

The term has a definition, source and subject classification. It may also contain grammatical information, context, notes and project code.
