Unit 7: Planning Surveys

• Collections are developed by librarians and library staff by buying or otherwise acquiring Notes
materials over a period of time, based on assessment of the information needs of the library’s

• The interpretation process starts with two input files used in the OCL Editor. The first one is
the grammar file with the definition of the libraries’ concrete syntax. The second one is a
library file with a library to be interpreted.
