<h3>Description</h3>
<div class="property-description">
<p>The <code>symbol</code> attribute identifies the concept for symbols used in <abbr title="Augmentative and Alternative Communication">AAC</abbr> devices, etc., for users who cannot process traditional written language. The symbols are an alternative vocabulary, and multiple symbol sets exist today. These various symbol sets are, unfortunately, not mutually comprehensible so the individual familiar with expression via symbol set alpha is unable to understand expressions using symbol set beta. This specification exists to provide a web-based technological mechanism to select appropriate symbols from the set an individual user knows by using the <abbr title="Blissymbolics Communication International">BCI</abbr> concept index, the current de facto standard for cross referencing symbolic representations among symbol sets extant in the world today.</p>
