APPENDIX C. NUMEX: SPECIFIC GUIDELINES

C.1 - The entire string expressing the monetary or percentage value is to be tagged.
C.2 - Juxtaposed strings expressing monetary values in two different currencies are to be tagged separately.
C.3 - Modifying words that indicate the approximate value of a number or a "relative position" to a number are to be excluded from the NUMEX tag. However, borderline cases surh as the quantifier "several" may be optionally included in the tagged string.
C.4 - Rarely, multiword strings that are to be tagged as NUMEX will contain LOCATION (ENAMEX) substrings that are also to be tagged.
C.5 - Numeric expressions that do not use currency terms to indicate money values and that do not use percentage terms to indicate percentages are not to be tagged.
