Question related to focus when using "rate-entity-91"

[mgeorgescu]

Hi Ulf,

Would you agree to change of focus of the following AMR provided as example in the rate-entity frame?

from: He earns $42,000 per year.

     (e / earn-01
           :ARG0 (h / he)
           :ARG1 (r / rate-entity-91
                 :ARG1 (m / monetary-quantity :quant 42000
                       :unit (d / dollar))
                 :ARG2 (t / temporal-quantity :quant 1
                       :unit (y / year))))

                                                     :unit (y / year))))

We annotated similarly:

 (s / sell-01
  :ARG0 (c / country
          :name (n / name
                  :op1 "Iraq"))

          :quant (a / about
                   :op1 (v / volume-quanity
                          :quant 13000000
                          :unit (b / barrel)
                          :ARG1-of (r2 / rate-entity-91
                                     :ARG2 (t / temporal-quantity

                                             :quant 1)))))

They will threaten, they will try to influence, but they won't 'drop the bomb' unless they have a guarantee of some other country willing to buy several hundred billion dollars worth of junk a year.

Thank you.

At the AMR phone meeting, we decided not to make a change, but to expand explanations in the AMR documentation:
