Sumario:THE PAPER EXAMINES THE ROLE OF THE TERM USED IN SCIENTIFIC COMMUNICATION AND THE DESCRIPTOR EMPLOYED FOR INDEXING AND REFERENCE, AS WELL AS THE CHARACTERISTICS OF EACH AND THEIR INTERRELATIONSHIP. THE TERM IS OBSERVED WITHIN THE FRAMEWORK OF TERMINOLOGY, WHILE THE DESCRIPTOR IS OBSERVED AS LYING WITHIN THE PROCESS OF ORGANIZATION OF KNOWLEDGE. THE TERM, WHEN ITS CON TENT IS FIXED IN THE ELABORATION OF A THESAURUS, IS USED TO PROVIDE THE DESCRIPTOR CLARITY AND ACCURACY IN COMMUNICATION. THE DESCRIPTOR, ON THE OTHER HAND, ACQUIRES FLEXIBILITY AS IT WORKS IN COMBINATION WITH OTHER DESCRIPTORS TO AID IN THE COLLECTION OF INFORMATION.
