Parse PubID with relationships (Amendments)

[ronaldtse]

Some PubIDs refer to documents that amend another document. Amendments have a lowercase alphabet at the end of the unique identifier, starting with "a". e.g. "IEEE Std C95.1a-2010" means it is the 1st amendment to the previous edition of "IEEE Std C95.1".

ANSI C63.4a-2017 (Amendment to ANSI C63.4-2014)
IEEE Std C95.1a-2010 (Amendment to IEEE Std C95.1-2005)
IEEE Std C95.1b-2004 (Amendment to IEEE Std C95.1-1991 as amended by IEEE Std C95.1a-1998)
IEEE Std C57.18.10a-2008 (Amendment to IEEE Std C57.18.10-1998)

IEEE P802.3az/D3.2, July 2010 (Draft Amendment of IEEE Std 802.3-2008)
IEEE P802.3bf/D2.0, July 2010 (Amendment of IEEE Std 802.3-2008)

@ronaldtse Should I treat "Draft Amendment" the same as "Amendment"?

[ronaldtse]

"Draft Amendment" is a draft of an Amendment, like how in ISO/IEC they have DAmd. So these two are different in publication status.

Sometimes there are "Amendment to", sometimes "Amendment of". E.g.:

ANSI PN42.38a/D1_May 2018 (Amendment to ANSI N42.38-2015)
IEEE P802.3bf/D2.0, July 2010 (Amendment of IEEE Std 802.3-2008)

@ronaldtse Is it ok if I'll represent both as "Amendment to"?

Upd.: I found only Draft documents using "Amendment of"

Is it ok if I'll represent both as "Amendment to"?

Agree. Let's use "Amendment to".
