What are the comment categories in the OCS?

The classification of comments and their definitions are below:

⋅ EDITORIAL: This type of comment clarifies or simplifies the text without changing the meaning. This includes spelling or grammatical corrections, suggestions of different but equivalent words, and simplification of sentence structure.

⋅ SUBSTANTIVE: This type of comment takes into account conceptual changes and the addition of new aspects or ideas. This class of comments contains additions or extensions as well as changes, reorganization of the text or deletions resulting in alteration of the content of a sentence / paragraph / section of the draft. It is that this point is addressed in the revision process in some way.

⋅ TECHNICAL: This type of comment takes into account scientific corrections and technical adjustments. It aims at further clarification and improvement of the standard and sometimes at conformity with other standards from the technical viewpoint. These comments are incorporated unless there is disagreement or some misunderstanding.

⋅ TRANSLATION: This type of comment corrects points that are considered to be inaccurately translated into another language version of the text.

General comments can also be sent to comment on the draft document overall.
