These things are called entities. Some entities are already predefined
by DocBook - I think (but am not sure) these are the same as for HTML:
(&amp; = &, &lt; = <, &gt; = >,...).

But DocBook also allows to define your own entities - useful to define
shortcuts (&sls; = SUSE Linux Enterprise Server) and useful for string
that may change in the future (&product; = Workingtitle).
Our custom entities are defined in 

xml/entity-decl.ent
xml/network-decl.ent
