TermBase eXchange (TBX) is an international standard (ISO 30042:2019) for the representation of structured concept-oriented terminological data, copublished by ISO and the Localization Industry Standards Association (LISA).[3][4][5] Originally released in 2002 by LISA's OSCAR special interest group, TBX was adopted by ISO TC 37 in 2008. In 2019 ISO 30042:2008 was withdrawn and revised by ISO 30042:2019. It is currently available as an ISO standard and as an open, industry standard, available at no charge.[4][5]
TBX defines an XML format for the exchange of terminology data, and is "an industry standard for terminology exchange".[6]

- GlossML: an XML-based format for representing bilingual and multilingual glossaries, storing source and target terms along with definitions and contextual examples. TBX-Glossary, a restricted dialect of TBX designed for cross-format interchange, supports lossless conversion to and from GlossML.[7][8]
