  • a) said term is subjected to a set of predetermined construction rules in such a way as to form a plurality of different abbreviations of said term;

    b) the abbreviations thus formed are analyzed by subjecting each of them to at least one transparency criterion; and

    c) on the basis of this analysis, one selects as abridged form for said term;

    if just one of said abbreviations satisfies said transparency criterion, this abbreviation;

    if none of said abbreviations satisfies said transparency criterion, said term in full; and

    if several of said abbreviations satisfy said transparency criterion, that which satisfied said transparency criterion quickest.
