In terminology management, a termbase, or term base (a contraction of terminology and database), is a database consisting of concept-oriented terminological entries (or ‘concepts’) and related information, usually in multilingual format. Entries may include any of the following additional information: a definition; source or context of the term; subject area, domain, or industry; grammatical information (verb, noun, etc.); notes; usage label (figurative, American English, formal, etc.); author (‘created by’), creation/modification date (‘created/modified at’); verification status (‘verified’ or ‘approved’ terms), and an ID.

A termbase allows for the systematic management of approved or verified terms and is a powerful tool for promoting consistency in terminology.
