Example

 <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.

The abstract for a born digital document should be located within the front; this element is provided for cases where no abstract is available in the original source.
