Remarks

The classcode attribute may be used to link the term to a terminological source given in a classCode element. The term element may include other term elements in order to allow the creation of coordinated terms; i.e., terms created from a combination of other, independent terms. This element is modelled on an element in the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) standard.
