I cannot give you concrete statistics on this, maybe others in this group can help with this.

I would rather propose to generate triples and not use XMLLiteral for the items that you want to represent explicitly.

In the proof-of-concept example European Migration Network glossary, http://lemon-model.net/lemon#definition <http://lemon-model.net/lemon#definition> is used, placed in a pseudo-node, to allow for further description of the definition. Could a pseudo-node be used also for tbx:definition? I.e.:

That is again with XMLLiteral, so maybe not the best approach.

Non-obivous terms which are used in definitions are assumed to refer to concepts in the same terminology source (a certain set of term entries) and if the term is not unique within that source, a homonym number is appended. Important concepts in the definition is sometimes put into separate “see also” fields.

I don’t think so - making the links explicit would be great.

Best,
