The abbrSet element is a simple
container for ab6 elements, each
of which defines one of the valid six-letter bird codes.
abbrSet = element abbrSet { abbr* }
abbr = element abbr
{ attribute code { text },
attribute sci { text },
text
}
code
The code attribute of an
abbr element is the bird
code being defined, in uppercase.
sci
The sci attribute is the
scientific name of the taxon to which this code is
assigned. All such attribute values must be
defined in some child of the taxonomy element.
text
The text content of an abbr element is
the English name from which that code was derived, in
inverted order.
Underbar (“_”) characters may be included to show
where italicization starts and stops.
Here's are some examples of abbr
elements:
<abbr code='CALLIN' sci='Carpodacus mexicanus'>
Linnet, California
</abbr>
<abbr code='PRHLAR' sci='Eremophila alpestris'>
Lark, Prairie (_practicola_) Horned
</abbr>
