/EDIT in columns 1-5, with an optional integer beginning in column
7. The indicated number of trees are copied from A6 to B5
with the trees specified by the deletion requests (which follow
this card) removed from the file. These deletion requests are
cards with right parentheses in columns 1 and 2, and with a
serial number in columns 7-12 and/or a BCD identifier in
colunns 13-18 Up to 30 of these delete requests may be given.
Any criterion tree on the tape which matches the information
on the delete card (either the identifier or the serial number,
if only one is specified, or both the identifier and the serial
nuniber if both are given on the delete card) is removed from
the file.
/WEOF in columns 1-5. This terminates the processing of the criterion
trees. The file on B5 is terminated and A6 is spaced over any
remaining trees. This should be the last control card affecting
the criterion trees.
/ADDL This specification causes trees to be read from [OCRerr], encoded as
required by the search programs, and written on B5. The format
required for the specification of criterion trees is given below.
5.1.5.1. Criterion Tree Input Format
Each definition begins on a new card. Basically, six pieces of infor-
`nation are required to define a criterion tree. These are:
a) the tree name and serial number,
b) the output concept nunibers to be assigned to the sentence if
the tree is found,
c) the place in the sentence where these concepts are attached,
d) the dependency relations between nodes (the structure of the
tree),
e) the syntactic values associated with each node that zmist be
matched,
