On the basis of these studies, the document ISO WD 24617-12 was drafted. The ISA-17 Quantification Challenge is intended to identify the strengths, limitations, and deficiencies of the QuantML proposal by inviting experts in quantification and/or in semantic annotation to explore the application of QuantML in the annotation of a range of test sentences that display some of the phenomena that the future standard would hope to cover.",

Other markables are those words that correspond to the predicates of the conceptual inventory in the abstract syntax and those in the concrete syntax, notably as values of the @pred attribute.

In such a case, the numbering of markables is determined in the first place by its left boundary, and if they have the same left boundary, than by the linear position of the right boundary. So in the sentence \"Most of the students passed the exam\", Most\" is numbered as markable m1, and \"Most of the students\" as markable m2. Markables may be discontinuous, for example, in \"The boys carried the boxes upstairs\", the words \"carried upstairs\" is a discontinuous markable. Following the ordering convention of Discontinuous Phrase Structure Grammar (Bunt, 1996) , the numbering of discontinuous markables is determined by their leftmost element, and if two such markables have the same leftmost element then by their next element, and so on.",
