What do the abbreviations in POS tagging etc mean?

Say I have the following Penn Tree:

(S (NP-SBJ the steel strike)
 (VP lasted
     (ADVP-TMP (ADVP much longer)
               (SBAR than
                     (S (NP-SBJ he)
                        (VP anticipated
                            (SBAR *?*))))))
 .)

What do abbrevations like VP and SBAR etc mean? Where can I find these definitions? What are these abbreviations called?
