These models align with multiple ISO standards for terminology management:

• ISO 10241-1 — Terminology entries in standardized terminology
• ISO 704 — Terminology work: principles and methods (concept systems)
• ISO 30042 / TBX — Terminology markup framework (data exchange)
• ISO 12620 — Data category registry (term types, register, grammar)
• ISO 25964 / SKOS — Thesaurus interoperability (hierarchical and mapping relationships)
