values, first defined in NISO STS and later adopted by JATS:
|

A term that does not meet the requirements to be a preferred term, but is not deprecated,
possibly because it is in common use. Expanded and abbreviated forms of a term are
sometimes used as admitted terms.

|
non-preferred
|
This term is deprecated in favor of a preferred term.
Deprecated terms include obsolete and superseded terms.
