Abbreviations

When the extraction engine is processing text, it will generally consider any period it finds as an indication that a sentence has ended. This is typically correct; however, this handling of period characters does not apply when abbreviations are contained in the text.

If you extract terms from your text and find that certain abbreviations were mishandled, you should explicitly declare that abbreviation in this section.

Note: If the abbreviation already appears in a synonym definition or is defined as a term in a type dictionary, there is no need to add the abbreviation entry here.

Formatting Rules for Abbreviations

• Define one abbreviation per line.
