Bibliography of Definition Sources
The following source references were used to provide provenance for ELSST Definitions. Where no definition source is shown, the definition has either been created in-house, or the original source no longer applies or cannot be determined. Unattributed definitions are checked periodically and may be updated with new definition sources.
Definition Sources appear in the thesaurus only for the source language (English), and not for the other language versions of the thesaurus, unless they are official translations from a multilingual source. All other translations of Definitions have been provided by ELSST partners.
Some of the references in this bibliography may have alternative acronyms. The acronyms provided below are those used within ELSST.
