3.6.4. Gender

Depending on the needs of the users of your terminological data and on the language of the data, you may wish to provide gender information for each term. For example, since French nouns possess grammatical gender and adjectival agreements with the gender of the noun, it may be helpful to indicate for each noun whether it is masculine or feminine.
