About ‘K-term’
K-term has gathered and classified terminology materials scattered across different institutions and fields, making it easier for anyone to find and effectively use terminology knowledge. At the same time, K-term aims to connect terms with the same forms and concepts to create an integrated system.
Essential information necessary for understanding and using terms (such as definitions, usage examples, original languages, etc.) is continuously being added.
Providing unified classification information
The terms collected from each organization and group are classified according to the 'National Science and Technology Standard classification system (2023)' (major classes: 22, middle classes: 277) to provide unified classification information.※ The National Science and Technology Standards Classification System was first created in 2002 by the Ministry of Science and ICT in accordance with the Framework Act on Science and Technology, and is revised every five years.
※ When you search for a term, you can see the number of term searches by major classes and middle classes on the left.
Terms with the same form and concept that
appear in different sources are indicated by
a TSFC(Terms with the Same Form and Concept)
The degree to which terminology information is provided is expressed as a Completion Rate

Each of these pieces of information is marked with a different star color, allowing you to check at a glance completion rate of the terminology information.※ If there is no information available for the class, definition, usage examples, or original language information, that will be indicated with dotted stars.
