<div>Hi Norbert,</div> <div> </div> <div>actually playing around I have found a form needed (from paraphrase;):</div> <div> </div> <div>There is a publication B5633.<br> A year of the publication B5633 is 1946.<br></div> <div>My idea is to introduce something pointing out its concept, and later describe its features and relations.</div> <div> </div> <div>and anyway "Socrat is a man." is a classical form of introduction to compare with "There is a man Socrat."</div> <div> </div> <div>Alex<br></div> <div class="gmail_quote">2009/7/2 Norbert E.

For details see section 2.1.15 of the ACE construction rules.<br> <br>In your example the first occurrence of B5633 is as a so-called bare variable that is a shortcut for "something B5633". Thus the variable basically stands for "something". The second occurrence of B5633 is as apposition to "publication". Now the same variable stands for "publication" which causes the error message.<br> <br>To express what you want you could, for instance, write:<br><br>B5633 is a publication. A year of B5633 is 1946. A first-page of the publication is 1.<br><br>But perhaps you would want to avoid associating B5633 with "something". Then you could write more concisely<br> <br>A year of the publication B5633 is 1946. A first-page of the publication B5633 is 1.<br><br>or variants thereof.<br><br>Regards.<br><br> --- nef<br></blockquote></div><br>
