Using the Dictionary in a Multilingual Context
The aim of this solution is to create a dictionary that describes and defines elements of your business vocabulary.
With HOPEX, the basic component of a dictionary is the Concept.
*A concept expresses the essential nature of a being, an object, or a word through its properties and characteristics or its specific qualities.
The word that is associated with a Concept and which depends on language is a Term.
*A term is a word or word group, that is used for a specific meaning in a specific context.
A term is therefore specific to a language and cannot be translated. On the other hand, it enables creation and viewing of the concept in the language chosen by the user.
