f) the semantic values associated with each node, which must be
matched.
Normally, the data under c), d) and e) are supplied by reference to
a standard " tree type". A table of tree 11types" exists in the program,
represented in Table 6. New types may be d[OCRerr]fined, however. Trees may also
be defined completely on the input cards. In fact, one may simultaneously
define both trees and types with an input card. Usually, however, only
the output concept number, the semantic data, the tree type, and the name
and serial number are assigned by the user. The format of the criterion
tree input cards, going from left to right, is as follows:
a) columns 1-6 contain six BCD characters. If this is the first
card of a tree, this field contains the name of the tree. This
is the BOD identifier used in the /EDIT control card. If this
field contains five blanks followed by an asterisk, this card
is a continuation card from the preceding card. Column 1 should
not contain a /, except for the last input card of the criterion
tree deck, which must contain ////// in cols 1-6.
If a type, rather than a tree, is being defined, the B[OCRerr] name
field is ignored. However, it must be non-blank, non-zero,
and satisfy all the other requirements as usual.
b) the output concept number field(s) follow. This may be omitted
if a type only, and no trees, are being defined. The contents
of this field are the concept nuzzibers to be used as output, and
the positions in the senten[OCRerr]e (the nodes) where they are to be
inserted. More than one output concept number field is allowed;
each field, including the first output concept number field,
must be preceded by an equals sign (--). Each field is defined
as foUows:
i) if the output concept number is a specific integer, it must be
