[A] theory can never be prescriptive because a theory is a unit of coherently integrated axioms or essentials which permits the description of an object, its properties, its relations and operations within a specific framework. The theory developed by Wüster is not prescriptive but rather descriptive, even though the data he described were not representative of the full range of terminology and hence the theory he inferred from these data was biased.

However, the specialised dictionaries designed and compiled by linguistics-based terminologists are not different from traditionally-conceived ones, as shown in chapter 8 (cf. sections, 8. 10; 8. 11; 8.12; 8.13; and 8.14). What makes them different is that they, e.g. Cabré's Genoma and Faber's EcoLexicon, have embraced data modelling, usually termed knowledge engineering, the new buzzword in the field of terminology.
