Crossing References Fix Procedures

The crossing reference check and anlysis should be run to find problems and then fix by programs (auto-fix) and manually before the LEXICON is released annually. The entire processes might go through several iterative loops to complete. The procedure to fix these files are as follows:

  • Run the program for the following steps:
    • GenerateAcrAbbNomRecords
    • CheckCrossRef
    • AnaylyzeData

  • Fix Procedures
    • Remove duplicated records:
      • Fix all lines in abbDup.data, acrDup.data, and nomDup.data
      • Must complete all three files to make the data clean
        • Delete/combine records if they are duplicated records
        • Add to dupExceptions.data if they are not duplicated records
      • The count on all these three files should be 0 before go to the next step.
    • newTerm
      • Ideally, allnew terms should be added to LEXICON
      • It is OK if they are not
    • abb
    • acr
    • nom
