Approximately #46

We noticed some inconsistencies related to the annotation of approximately. The 2 approaches have been:

  1. to go to "approximate-01" and make use of the roles

"cost approximately 51 billion rupees"

:ARG2 (m2 / monetary-quantity :unit (r / rupee) :quant 51000000000 :ARG1-of (a3 / approximate-01))))

  1. :quant (a / approximately :op1 )

The second alternative is the right annotation. Use "approximately" the same way as "around" or "more-than". Slogan to remember: "The fuzzy goes on top."

The project will cost approximately 51 billion rupees.

(c / cost-01
  :ARG1 (p / project)
  :ARG2 (a / approximately
          :op1 (m / monetary-quantity :quant 51000000000
                 :unit (r / rupee))))

I added this AMR as a second example under consensus guidelines (searchable with cs ...) and also added a list of such fuzzy operators to http://www.isi.edu/~ulf/amr/lib/popup/quantities.html#non-exact-quantities

Thanks for the clarification.
