The Language Specifications

To specify ODL we use the BNF notation with the following typographic conventions:

-
non terminal are in standard font and in lowcase.
-
token are in bold font, and surrounded with <> if they denote a set of tokens.
-
optional grammar symbols are surrounded with open and close brackets.
