Terminology standardization reflects two different aspects involving the meaning of terms and the structure of
terminological resources. In this paper, we focus on the structural aspect of standardization and we present the work of re-modeling TriMED,
a multilingual terminological database conceived to support multi-register medical communication. In particular, we provide a general
methodology to make the termbase compliant to three of the most recent ISO/TC 37 standards. We focus on the definition of (i) the structural
meta-model of the resource, (ii) the provided data categories and its Data Category Repository, and (iii) the TBX format for its
implementation. In particular, we provide a general methodology to make the termbase compliant to three of the most recent ISO/TC 37
