Scope note
A term is a word or group of words representing a single concept; a vocabulary record comprises terms and other information, including relationships, scope note, sources, etc. Additionally, in the jargon of thesaurus construction, the word term is often used as shorthand to actually refer to the concept that is represented by that term (for example, BT and NT actually refer to the relationships between concepts). The distinction between a term in the strict sense and term meaning a record must often be inferred from the context of the discussion.
