Discussion: Here are some AARM-only definitions:
The Ada Rapporteur Group (ARG)
interprets the Ada Reference Manual.
An
Ada Issue (AI) is a numbered ruling from the ARG. Ada Issues created
for Ada 83 are denoted as "AI83", while Ada Issues created
for Ada 95 are denoted as "AI95" in this document. Similarly,
Ada Issues created for Ada 2005 are denoted as "AI05"
The
Ada Commentary Integration Document (ACID) is an edition of the Ada 83
RM in which clearly marked insertions and deletions indicate the effect
of integrating the approved AIs.
The
Uniformity Rapporteur Group (URG) issued recommendations intended to
increase uniformity across Ada implementations. The functions of the
URG have been assumed by the ARG.
A
Uniformity Issue (UI) was a numbered recommendation from the URG. A Defect
Report and Response is an official query to WG9 about an error in the
standard. Defect Reports are processed by the ARG, and are referenced
here by their ISO numbers: 8652/nnnn. Most changes to the Ada 95 standard
include reference(s) to the Defect Report(s) that prompted the change.
The
Ada Conformity Assessment Test Suite (ACATS) is a set of tests
intended to check the conformity of Ada implementations to this standard.
This set of tests was previously known as the Ada Compiler Validation
Capability (ACVC).
