From the perspective of the SWAN Discourse it could be possible to add a new element to the ABCDE model. Such element would be similar to the existing element called 'Core sentences as abstract' but will refer to sentences that could be used to compile the scientific discourse of the document. In fact, I can imagine the abstract being shorter than the actual complete scientific discourse embedded in the publication. (TO BE COMPLETED)
