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>
