Word meaning
Hello,
This is a one-sentence paragraph in an ISO standards document (the quotation marks are from me): 'The disposition of source records following a migration or conversion process should be authorized.' A member in our committee was adamant that the word 'following' in the sentence means 'in conformance with' or 'in accordance with.' I insisted that the word means 'immediately after (something)' or 'coming just after.' Do you think he is right? Would you please give me some explanation. Thank you. Agus Permadi
