### The XML Version of the TEI Guidelines # <tig>

`<tig>` | (term information group) within a `<termEntry>` element, contains information elements associated with a single term.
Attributes | (In addition to global attributes)
`type` | classifies the `<tig>` using some typology, preferably the dictionary of data element types specified in ISO WD 12 620.
| 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:

Note

The `<tig>` element occurs only when the `nested' form of the terminology base is used. In the case of a term entry documenting a concept for which no standard term exists, the term entry will have to contain a `dummy' `<tig>`, which contains a empty term element of the form `<term>``</term>`.
