    Subject: Development of Chronological Terms


    Linguists,

    A nonprofit Alliance for the Advancement of Technology (AAT) is pursuing development of a metric-time standard, the Integrated Chronological Applications System (ICAS), that is based on a premise that learning to use a system of metric time is similar to learning a second language. Uses of ICAS are integrated relative the use of various ICAS or non-ICAS measures in large part via the use of term sets. Certain guidelines and options for the development of various term sets are described in the ICAS standard. AAT ICAS in Brief version 6.01 is available in both HTML and PDF versions from AAT ICAS Itinica on the aatideas web at http://www.aatideas.org/itinica via Internet.

    As the technology is emerging, the term sets in ICAS version 6.01 are not fully delimited. In addition, term sets for users of metric time in languages other than English may also be developed. - Ronald L. Stone, programs manager Alliance for the Advancement of Technology (AAT)
