The abbr element represents the abbreviated form of a phrase, term or name. The role attribute optionally expresses whether the type of abbreviation. The expansion and name elements provide a mechanism for associating an abbreviation with its uncontracted form. When including an expansion, the ref attribute on the abbr element links the abbreviation to an expansion or name. The ref attribute can also be used to reference a definition element when an explanatory definition of the abbreviation is also needed. The ref attribute on an abbr element must resolve to an expansion, name or definition element. The abbr element must neither be empty nor contain only whitespace.
The expansion element represents the fully expanded form of an abbreviation . The expansion element requires an xml:id attribute with a unique identifier for linking from the associated abbreviation. Expansions that are not part of the document content must be placed in the document head . The expansion element must not contain descendant expansion elements. The expansion element must neither be empty nor contain only whitespace.
