1 Scope
This document extends ISO 24617‑7:2020, which specifies ways of annotating spatial information in natural language such
as English, by establishing a formal semantics for its abstract syntax. The task of
the proposed semantics is of two kinds:
-
a) translation of annotation structures to semantic forms;
-
b) model-theoretic interpretation of semantic forms.
Semantic forms are represented in a type-theoretic first-order logic. These semantic forms are then interpreted with respect to a model for part of the world to which an annotated
language is referentially, or denotationally, anchored.
NOTE The basic framework and content of this document is based on Reference [1].
