Let K be a field, A = K[X1, . . . , Xn] and M the set of monomials of A. It is well known that the set of monomial ideals of A is in a bijective correspondence with the set of all subsemiflows of the M-semiflow M. We generalize this to the case of term ideals of A = R[X1, . . . , Xn], where R is a commutative Noetherian ring. A term ideal of A is an ideal of A generated by a family of terms cXµ1 1 . . . Xµn n , where c ∈ R and µ1, . . . , µn are integers ≥ 0.
