How concepts are organized in EntryScape Terms¶
A terminology is a set of terms and concepts within a specific field of expertise. In EntryScape Terms you collect concepts that belong together within a certain terminology and structure them in concept hierarchies. You can also create collections where you collect subsets of concepts from one or more terminologies.
Below is an example of a terminology, "Dog breeds", where the concept "Companion and Toy Dogs" serves as the parent concept for several subordinate concepts in a hierarchical structure, allowing you to go down multiple levels.
You can also group existing concepts into collections. A collection is a selected subset of concepts from one or more terminologies grouped together for a specific purpose.
Below is an example of a collection, "Allergy friendly dogs and cats", that collects and points to a subset of concepts from the already existing terminologies "Dog breeds" and "Cat breeds".
