Summary/Abstract: This paper analyzes the indexing of terms in social sciences and the forming of knowledge descriptors in the process of precise definition of these terms. Particular focus is placed on the categorization of terms, in the context of international terminology standards, in coordinating these terms with their contextualization in knowledge discourses. Within this paper are examples of problems that arise due to the need to equalize terminologies with the cultural and linguistic norms of specific languages, and challenges created by the need for terminology to follow the related definitions and functionality of the terms in different discourses.
