Wish List: Variable [RO:Role]

[Helmut Leininger 0]

Hi,

 

I would like a variable [RO:role] similar to [WO:witnesses].

 

Motivation:

I have some contraxcts like this one:

 

A owes B money (that he cannot pay back).

C owes A money (that he cannot ay back).

B has lent money C to pay A. So, C owes B money, too.

They enter a contract how to settle the debts. Witnesses have been D and E.

 

For these strange situations (Three or more equal partners, no primary person) i would like to derive a tag from "History" and create a role "Partner" and assign it to Ab, B, and C. D and E would be "Witnesses"

 

I would like an output similar to "A, B and C entered a contract for debt settlement. Witnesses have been D and E"

 

A sentence could be:

[RO:Partner] entered a caontract< [M]>. <Witnesses have been [WO].>

 

 

I know there is a variable [R:role], but it does not meet the requirements as "In TMG, the variable [R:Rolename], if used in the Sentence for a person assigned that Role, refers only to that person. When used in the Sentence for any other Role it lists all persons assigned the Role."

It outputs only one partner and ignores the others.

 

 

 

Regards

Helmut
