`<term>` | contains a single-word, multi-word or symbolic designation which is regarded as a technical term.

Attributes:

`type` | classifies the term using some typology.
| Datatype: CDATA
| Values: any string of characters; for serious terminological work, values should be taken from the dictionary of data element types specified in ISO WD 12 620.
| Default: #IMPLIED

Example:

Example

    A computational device that infers structure from grammatical
    strings of words is known as a <term>parser</term>, and much
    of the history of NLP over the last 20 years has been occupied
    with the design of parsers.

Example

    We may define <term rend=sc id=tdpv>discoursal point of view</term>
    as <gloss target=tdpv>the relationship, expressed through discourse
    structure, between the implied author or some other addresser,
    and the fiction.</gloss>

Note

In formal terminological work, there is frequently discussion over whether terms must be atomic or may include multi-word lexical items, symbolic designations, or phraseological units. The `<term>` element may be used to mark any of these. No position is taken on the philosophical issue of what a term can be; the looser definition simply allows the `<term>` element to be used by practitioners of any persuasion.
