V.E.R.A. -- Virtual Entity of Relevant Acronyms

2. List format

V.E.R.A. -- Virtual Entity of Relevant Acronyms

Some notes on the systematic approach of the acronym list:

Because often acronyms are being referenced not very unique in style, the acronyms in V.E.R.A. do not contain any special characters; only characters and numbers are used. Please remember this, when you are searching for acronyms.

German umlauts are expressed with AE, ae, OE, oe, UE, ue and ss.

Examples:

ASN.1 = ASN1
OS/2 = OS2
DFUE, Foerderung, Grossforschungseinrichtung, ...

What is thought to be the common style can be found at the end of the line(s) in quotation marks.

Examples:

ASN1

Abstract Syntax Notation One (OSI), "ASN.1"

ATT

American Telephone and Telegraph, "AT&T"
