Concept based search
TermStar is entirely centred on the meaning rather than the terms in each language. It opens a new record for each concept, not for each term. A concept may contain multiple terms and linguistic variants for a single object, property or action.
For example, a "mouse" may be a peripheral computer device, or an animal. Although the term is the same, the concepts are completely different. With TermStar, there will be two separate records for these two concepts. It is likely that other languages use separate terms for different meanings.
This unique design means that TermStar automatically helps the translator to use terminology consistently. When a new concept is created, you assign it a preferred term, which should be used consistently. Synonyms and other forms of the term are stored in separate fields.
During a search, it does not matter what search text is entered; TermStar will show you the appropriate concept, and tell you the preferred term. TermStar thus encourages consistency in the use of terminology for a specific object, using the guidelines of most companies and organizations.
Displaying terminology clearly and distinctly means that inconsistent or duplicate entries can be identified.
This simplifies database maintenance, even when the databases are physically separate.

Single database record: fast access
TermStar creates electronic dictionaries, built so that all the translations for one semantic unit are contained in a single record, with a hierarchical structure.
A predefined set of data fields will be provided, using the latest terminological research theories. There are also user-definable fields. Different types of fields can be used, allowing all necessary information to be stored in TermStar and giving fast access to the data.
