Chapter 11. Tagging and tracing Program Integrated Information 191utes of work searching for a string was reduced to ten seconds of computerisedsearching.The comprehensive index file is a text file that contains all of the PII data.The comprehensive index file can be viewed with an ordinary text editor. Thereare four types of text data, “Basic Form”, “One-Line Form”, “Reference Form”, and“Reference Form with Tag Jump”. The following are actual examples from CATIA.[Basic Form]E7d1=2=2DViewer.CATNls=Visibility.Title=“Visibility”[One-Line Form]E7d1=2=2DViewer.CATNls=Visibility.Title=“Visibility”=“ / ”=J7d1=2[Reference From]E7d1, 2,“Visibility”, 2DViewer.CATNls, Visibility.TitleJ7d1, 2, “ / ”[Reference Form with Jump]E7d1, 2, “Visibility”J7d1, 2, “ / ”.\E7d\2DViewer.CATNls 2:Visibility.Title.\J7d\2DViewer.CATNls 2:Visibility.TitleWe call a comprehensive index file such as J7dTextList.txt the “Basic Form”. TheBasic Form file is created by addid.pl when the PII files with ID tags are generated(see Fig. 1, (8)). There is one blank line after each entry in the Reference Form andin the Reference Form with Jump. There are no blank lines in the Basic Form or inthe One-Line Form. The above types of lines for each form are repeated for all ofthe PII data. The Reference Form is mainly used in the TVT and in the PII maintenancephase. The One-Line Form is convenient when searching for language pairsand can be handled with a spreadsheet such as Excel. Excel alone cannot be usedfor CATIA because of the large amount of PII data, since the number of lines ofdata is over Excel’s limit of 64k lines. If the comprehensive index file is used forJava properties files, there are no quotation marks in the forms. The comprehensiveindex files after the Basic Form are created from pairs of Basic Form files suchas E7dTextList.txt and J7dTextList.txt. The Reference Form with Jump adds twolines to the Reference Form. Many text editors have a function to open anotherfile by hitting a function key (e.g., F10) depending on the location of the editor’scursor. The additional two lines help to open the PII files where the PII key exists.Use of the Reference Form with Jump can easily check whether or not the actualPII file has additional information for the PII keys, such as comments.
