Main
Features
Translation Technology: designed to be fully in
compliance with existing open standards
TBX (TermBase eXchange) for terminology
database
TBX is an open XML-based standard format for
terminological data. This standard provides a number
of benefits so long as TBX files can be imported into
and exported from most software packages that include
a terminological database. This capability will
greatly facilitate the flow of terminological
information throughout the information cycle, inside
an organization and with outside service providers as
well. In addition, terminology that is made available
to the general public will become much more accessible
to humans, not just machines, and more easily
integrated into existing terminological
resources.
