Does anyone know where I can find an explanation of the SGML tags used
in the machine-readable version of OALD, i.e. the one that looks like:

<ent h=A hn=1><hwd>A</hwd><hwd>a</hwd><pr><ph>eI</ph></pr>
<hps ps=n><ifg gm=pl><if>A's</if><if>a's</if><pr><ph>eIz</ph></pr></ifg>
<hsn><def>the first letter of the English alphabet</def>
<gx>He knows the subject from A to Z<esn>knows it thoroughly</esn></gx>
<cd><cp>A1</cp><pr><ph>%eI "wVn</ph></pr>
<csn sn=a>
<def>(of ships) classified as first class</def>
<xr type=see><xrh>Lloyd's</xrh></xr>
</csn>
... etc

Thanks for any help.
