# This is a template for MC (MultiCriteria) discrete alternatives
# problem and (optional) instance(s) data specification

#
# The convention used for preparing/processing this CSV file:
# - lines having in the first column the # character are comments (ignored by
    the parser)
# - empty lines (also composed of white spaces) are ignored
# - only ASCII characters are allowed

# The file is composed of sections defined by a name delimited by pair: <>
# - all sections but the last are closed by a next section
# - the last section is closed by the EOF
# - the sequence of sections is prescribed
# - the following sections should be defined for MC problem specification:
#   . problem
#   . attributes
#   . alternatives
#   . values
# - the following sections should be defined for MC problem specification
#    (which can optionally follow the problem specification):
#   . instance
#   . criteria

# Each section is composed of lines (records)
# - lines are composed of fields delimited by the ; character (therefore this
#   character must not be used in data strings)
# - the last ; (separator for the last field) is optional
# - leading and trailing white space(s) for a field are ignored
# - space(s) within numerical fields are not allowed
# - each field has maximum length:
#   . fields longer than the corresponding maximum length are truncated
#   . empty numerical field is interpreted as zero
#   . numerical values have to be defined in either F (e.g. 7.245) or
#     E (e.g. -2.345e+3) formats; no spaces within a number are allowed;
#     infinity should be defined by one of the keywords: INFTY and -INFTY .
#   . empty obligatory string field causes error
#   . empty long name is filled by the corresponding short name
#   . empty optional string fields are allowed (e.g. for descriptions)

# MC problem specification (composed of 4 sections)
# (samples of data are provided for illustration)
# Specific info/requirements:
# - structure of fields for each section is defined below
# - short names must be unique within each section
# - fields in square brackets are optional

<problem>
# Line structure (Fields in square braces are optional, numbers in brackets
# specify maximum number of characters of the corresponding field):
#
#   short name(16);[long name(128)];[description(2000)]

<values>
# A line defines values of attributes (indicators) for an alternative.
# The number and order of the fields in each line must correspond to the
# number and order of attributes defined in the <attributes> section.
# The number and order of lines must correspond to the alternatives defined
# in the <alternatives> section.
# The (optional) decimal point character is the dot ""."""

# The following two sections define an instance of the MC problem analysis

<instance>
#   short name(16);[long name(128)]
#
All criteria;

<criteria>
# short name(16);[long name(128)];[attribute(16)];[parent(16)];type(6);[target value(16)]
#
# Comments:
# - short name is used as identifier of the corresponding criterion, and
#   also for forms/graphs, optional long criterion name may be used when
#   more space will be available (e.g., in reports)
# - attribute (that defines a criterion on the lowest level) must correspond
#   to the short name of a defined attribute (indicator)
# - empty attribute field implies a criterion above the lowest criteria
#   level; such a criterion must be a parent of at least one lower-level
#   criterion
# - the type has to be one of the keywords: {min max target}
# - the target value field is processed only for the target criterion-type.
# - WARNING: the target type criterion has not been implemented yet.
