TBX is the LISA standard for terminology and term exchange.
For information on more file formats, see conformance.

Note here:
NLS: Extra listing
TBX:
<termNote type="termNote">synonym</termNote>
according to this TBX documentation. In another place:
<termNote type="termType">synonym</termNote>
inside a <termGrp>, following <term>
NLS: term {definition/contextual information}
TBX
<descripGrp> <descrip type="definition">The longish definition of the term</descrip> </descripGrp>
inside langSet <descript> can probably be used directly under langSet
NLS: term {definition/contextual information} (see above)
TBX:
<descrip type="context">A usually somewhat longer contextual sentence.</descrip>
inside <ntig>
NLS: term v. (or adj, or n.)
TBX:
<termNote type="partOfSpeech" >noun</termNote>
following <term>
NLS: alternate term → real lemma
TBX: <ref> TODO
NLS: same as alternate term: a.m. → before noon
TBX: TODO
<termEntry id="4324 (8)"> <note>tag1, tag2, tag3 (7) - (Actually not clear what the best mapping to TBX is in this case.)</note> <langSet xml:lang="en"> <tig> <term>sound (1)</term> <termNote type="partOfSpeech">noun (6)</termNote> </tig> <descripGrp> <descrip type="definition">Something you can hear (2) - definition with an associated external source)</descrip> <xref type="xSource" target="http://www.something.org/?id=234">Glossmaster</xref> </descripGrp> <note>Any random note about the term. (5) (Actually there are ways of storing pretty specific stuff in specific spaces, but while it seems the comment could be a more verbose definition, examples, usage notes or anything else, we'll use this generic way.) </note> </langSet> <langSet xml:lang="af"> <tig> <term>klank (3)</term> </tig> <descrip type="definition">Iets wat jy kan hoor (4) - definition without an external source)</descrip> <note>A note in the target language (5).</note> </langSet> </termEntry>
Note that the <xref> tags are optional (as are just about everything except termEntry, langSet and tig). They allow to link to an external source. An internal source can also be specified, or the definition can be specified without a source as shown for the term “klank”.
