The ASD-STE100 (Simplified Technical English) Issue 9 vocabulary.

biz.dfch.AsdSte100Vocab

Introduction

This is a Python library, that implements an ASD-STE100 Issue 9 compatible dictionary, that includes the Technical Nouns (TN) and Technical Verbs (TV) from the rule R1.5 and rule R1.12. A word has these properties:

• name, the name of a word item
• status, is this word APPROVED or REJECTED?
• source, where does this word come from?
• type_, the word type (similar to "part of speech")
• category, the TN or TV category or "default"
• spellings, all correct spellings of the Word item (this is not a "lemma")
• meanings, contains one or more meanings for an APPROVED word item
• alternatives, a list that contains one or more alternatives for a REJECTED word item
• note, an optional note for Word item
• ste_example, an example that shows how to use the Word item correctly
• nonste_example, an example that shows an incorrect use of the Word item

biz.dfch.AsdSte100Lookup uses this library for its word lists and the display of these words.
