使用する際の注意点

• This initialism stands for a large number of phrases, sometimes even within the same field. This can cause confusion, for example in the OECD document in 2006 cited twice above, which defines one phrase in the text and a different one in its glossary. The definitions above relate only to major uses which have been used for several years and are still current; there are many others in use at present, but not included above. It is safer to examine the context to check which meaning is intended.
