Abstract
Up to now, we have only considered constraints which can be represented in the information structure diagram by means of graphical symbols. We have called these “graphical constraints.” In this chapter, we shall consider constraints for which no graphical symbols exist and which consequently cannot be represented in the information structure diagram: non-graphical constraints. These have to be described separately apart from the information structure diagram. Together, the specification of the non-graphical constraints and the information structure diagram (which includes the graphical constraints) form a description of the grammar of the information system.
