G.1.2 Overview

Tables G.3 through G.9 list the abbreviated terms used for constructing labels. In these tables the notation "[nnn]" where "nnn" represents one or more letters means that the letters between the brackets are appended to the base word or partial word in the indicated position to give alternate but related words that have the same abbreviation. For example, the entry "administrat[ion][ive]" means that both the term "administration" and the term "administrative" may be abbreviated with the abbreviation "ADMIN".
