Do you just need something on pen and paper? (In which case, I don't see why it needs to be "standard").
Or do you need something that can be used with bison/yacc/cup/etc to produce a parser? On a side note, I would say that the R Language Definition is the "standard" way. But I do recognize that this has a different flavour to modern language implementation *theory*. https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-release/R-lang.html On Tue, Jan 7, 2020 at 5:17 AM Steve Dutky <sdu...@gmail.com> wrote: > > I need to write some documentation: > > I'm looking for a standard, consistent way of referring to the components > and attributes of R data structures.
