   isomorphic
  
      Two mathematical objects are isomorphic if they
      have the same structure, i.e. if there is an {isomorphism}
      between them.   For every component of one there is a
      corresponding component of the other.

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   isomorphism
  
      A {bijective} {map} between two objects which
      preserves, in both directions, any structure under
      consideration.   Thus a `group isomorphism' preserves group
      structure; an order isomorphism (between {poset}s) preserves
      the order relation, and so on.   Usually it is clear from
      context what sort of isomorphism is intended.

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   isomorphism class
  
      A collection of all the objects {isomorphic} to
      a given object.   Talking about the isomorphism class (of a
      {poset}, say) ensures that we will only consider its
      properties as a poset, and will not consider other incidental
      properties it happens to have.
