<div class="role-description">

<p>A definition of a term or concept. See related <rref>term</rref>.</p>

<p>Authors MUST identify the <a>element</a> being defined and assign that element a role of <rref>term</rref>.</p>

<p>

Authors SHOULD NOT use the <code>definition</code> role on interactive elements such as form controls because doing so could prevent users of assistive technologies from interacting with

those elements.

<div class="note">

<p>The relationship between a <rref>term</rref> and its <code>definition</code> is conveyed on the <rref>term</rref> element; see the <rref>term</rref> role for more information.</p>
