A procedural parser is written as a sequence of actions (i.e. code) that pulls information from the binary data and reports some semantic information about that data. On the other hand, a declarative parser seeks to explain the meaning behind each field and decode it based on the type of the field.

DEF

A program that uses information in natural language input to fill data structures that the rest of the system can use; it identifies the various components of the input sentence and constructs an internal representation using syntactic and semantic clues.

CONT

X-TRA and XTRA-TE share the same analyzer, a syntax driven top-down, depth-first parser written in the formalism of definite clause grammars ..., but augmented with semantic routines for carrying out lexical and structural disambiguation. The parser takes the English input sentence ... and accomplishes syntactic/semantic analysis on the list. Syntax and semantics are closely integrated so that syntactically well-formed but semantically invalid parses are ruled out as early as possible.

CONT

FGA, unlike other attempted natural language parser, is based on only a small subset of the complete French grammar and dictionary.

Errors in attribute values might remain undetectable to the parser, because the value type is declared as CDATA, or because the value range is open ended, as in the case of events, for example. However, errors in attribute values can be detected within a given language profile, where that language profile specifies the supported value set. Specifications of language profiles are required to specify the error handling that is required when such an attribute value error occurs.

Les erreurs dans les valeurs d'attributs peuvent rester indétectables par l'analyseur, parce que le type de la valeur est déclaré comme valeur CDATA, ou parce que la portée de la valeur est sans limites fixes, comme dans le cas des événements par exemple. Cependant, les erreurs dans les valeurs d'attribut peuvent être détectées à l'intérieur d'un profil de langage donné, où le profil de langage définit l'ensemble des valeurs reconnues. Les spécifications des profils de langage sont tenues de spécifier la gestion d'erreur applicable quand une telle erreur de valeur se produit.

The major advantages to this scenario are: the rules by which an e-form is described is consistently applied since it can be parsed by a standard SGML parser to check adherence to the DTD; and, the e-form software applications have a consistent, rigidly defined input stream to process any given e-form instance.

... the semantic parser is designed to produce exactly the system's internal interpretation of the request: a functional form instantiated to the extent that values for the function and for its arguments were provided in the input sentence.
