RFMs
(Request for modification)
of the List of UCD-words
RFMs:
• Deletion: The UCD word is to be removed from the list
of standard UCDs. Approval of a deletion request should
include a statement of what UCD would be used in place
of the original UCD.
• Amendment: The description of the UCD and/or its
syntactic role (primary, secondary, etc.) and/or its
spelling is to be corrected.
• A request to better clarify the description of an UCD word
that is considered too short or cryptic or ambiguous,
and/or to change the syntactic role of the UCD word, is
called clarification.
• Addition: A new UCD word is to be added. In addition
to the general description, there needs to be an
indication of the syntactic role, which determines how
this word can be combined with other words
RFM: procedure
• SciBoard: 2-week evaluation
• WG: new version of the list open to
discussion, PR
• InterOp: 4-week RFC
• PR to Rec
• Shorter loop for “clarifications”
List of RFMs:
• Collection, over the past few month, of
suggestions to modify/add (mainly add)
the present standard list of ucd-words.
• RFM for clarification:
the semantic definition for all of the UCD words
consists of an incomplete sentence. ..
... to avoid misinterpretations, include richer
semantic definitions as part of the document
itself
