The delimitation of a concept consists of the term(s), definition(s) and image(s) related to the concept.
NOTE A definition may include an exclusion of a related term, an inclusion of a related term, a restriction of use, or a cross-reference to a related term.
This annex describes the method for rendering delimitations that is used in examples in this part of ISO 22745.
The standard rendering of a delimitation consists of the following elements, in the order given:
preferred term (in bold face);
synonyms, each on a separate line;
notes, each on a separate line preceded by the word "NOTE" in all upper case. If there is more than one note, the word "NOTE" is followed by a number;
examples, each on separate line preceded by the word "EXAMPLE" in all upper case. If there is more than one example, the word "EXAMPLE" is followed by a number;
the word "INCLUDES", followed by the preferred names of subordinate concepts, each on a separate line;
the word "EXCLUDES", followed by the preferred names of excluded concepts, each on a separate line;
the phrase "SEE ALSO", followed by the preferred names of coordinate concept, each on a separate line;
the keyword "FILTERED", followed by any filtering parameters (e.g., "English terminology" if only English terminology is displayed).
The following are examples of renderings of delimitations:

machine bolt |
externally threaded fastener designed to mate with a threaded hole or a nut |
NOTE A locking feature may be incorporated in the design of the head or threads. |
