NISO Z39.71 sets the standard for caption
use. The rules are: use the term
from the piece in the vernacular; abbreviate using AACR2 Appendix B, ISO
832 or other standard lists. (DLM used International acronyms, initialisms &
abbreviations dictionary). Abbreviations are given in the
singular, and if two abbreviations are possible, use the shortest. |
