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
