A distinct grouping of glossary definitions, usually preceded by a title that identifies the grouping (“Definitions for Students”).
The intent of glossary groups is to allow glossaries to be divided into headed sections, recursively deep, where each section can be a special topic or category of terms.
Typical content of such a Glossary Group is a title that names the group, a paragraph of explanation that defines the group or explains any exclusions, and then a series of term/definition pairs tagged inside a Definition List <def-list>.
The following, in order:
<article>... <back> <glossary> <title>Glossary Terms, Acronyms, and Abbreviations</title> <gloss-group> <title>Abbreviations</title> <def-list> <def-item> <term id="G15">F</term> <def><p>female</p></def> </def-item> <def-item> <term id="G29">gnty</term> <def><p>genotype</p></def> </def-item> <def-item> <term id="G43">M</term> <def><p>male</p></def> </def-item> </def-list> </gloss-group> <gloss-group> <title>Acronyms</title> <def-list> <def-item> <term id="G62">NIH</term> <def><p>National Institutes of Health</p></def> </def-item> <def-item> <term id="G12">XML</term> <def><p>Extensible Markup Language</p></def> </def-item> </def-list> </gloss-group> <gloss-group> <title>Virology Terms and Phrases</title> <def-list> <def-item> <term id="G71">HBV</term> <def><p>hepatitis B virus</p></def> </def-item> <def-item> <term id="G33">HBsAg</term> <def><p>hepatitis B surface antigen</p></def> </def-item> </def-list> </gloss-group> </glossary>... <ref-list>... </ref-list> ... </back> </article>
