Alignment Guidelines

Since alignment guidelines are language- and project-dependent, Ugarit doesn’t impose any alignment guidelines, it gives users the freedom to follow their own guidelines.
Here you can find a list of standard guidelines used by scholars for the creation of alignment gold standards:
