This document describes the general requirements on a terms and concepts database. This document also proposes a maintenance procedure for CEN/TC 251, the content, structure and user interface to a web-based terms- and concepts database that will compile the defined concepts with their preferred terms and definitions from the standards developed by CEN/TC 251.
