Note

This element is intended only for cases where no abstract is available in the original source. Any abstract already present in the source document should be encoded as a div within the front, as it should for a born-digital document.

Example

<profileDesc>
  <abstract resp="#LB">
    <p>Good database design involves the acquisition and deployment of
skills which have a wider relevance to the educational process. From
a set of more or less instinctive rules of thumb a formal discipline
or "methodology" of database design has evolved. Applying that
methodology can be of great benefit to a very wide range of academic
subjects: it requires fundamental skills of abstraction and
generalisation and it provides a simple mechanism whereby complex
ideas and information structures can be represented and manipulated,
even without the use of a computer.</p>
  </abstract>
