<term>

<term> contains a single-word, multi-word, or symbolic designation which is regarded as a technical term. 3.3.4 Terms, Glosses, Equivalents, and Descriptions
Module core — 3 Elements Available in All TEI Documents
In addition to global attributes att.declaring (@decls) att.typed (@type, @subtype) att.canonical (@key, @ref)
target identifies the associated gloss element by an absolute or relative URI reference
Status Optional
Datatype 

<rng:ref name="data.pointer"/>
data.pointer
Values should be a valid URI reference that resolves to a gloss element
cRef identifies the associated gloss element using a canonical reference from a scheme defined in a refsDecl element in the TEI header
Status Optional
Datatype 

<rng:ref name="data.pointer"/>
data.pointer
Values the result of applying the algorithm for the resolution of canonical references (described in section 16.2.5 Canonical References) should be a valid URI reference that resolves to a gloss element
Values Le résultat de l'application de l'algorithme pour la résolution de références canoniques (décrites dans la section 16.2.5 Canonical References) devrait être une référence à un URI valide réductible à un élément élémentgloss
Note
The refsDecl to use may be indicated with the decls attribute.
sortKey supplies the sort key for this term in an index.
Status Optional
Datatype 

<rng:ref name="data.word"/>
data.word
Values any string of Unicode characters.

Example
A computational device that infers structure
from grammatical strings of words is known as a <term>parser</term>, and much of the history
of NLP over the last 20 years has been occupied with the design of parsers.
Example
We may define <term xml:id="TDPV" rend="sc">discoursal point of view</term> as
<gloss target="#TDPV">the relationship, expressed
through discourse structure, between the implied author or some other addresser, and the
fiction.</gloss>
Note
This element is used to supply the form under which an index entry is to be made for the location of a parent index element.
In formal terminological work, there is frequently discussion over whether terms must be atomic or may include multi-word lexical items, symbolic designations, or phraseological units. The term element may be used to mark any of these. No position is taken on the philosophical issue of what a term can be; the looser definition simply allows the term element to be used by practitioners of any persuasion.
As with other members of the att.canonical class, instances of this element occuring in a text may be associated with a canonical definition, either by means of a URI (using the ref attribute), or by means of some system-specific code value (using the key attribute). Because the mutually exclusive target and cRef attributes overlap with the function of the ref attribute, they are deprecated and may be removed at a subsequent release.
