Similar dominance mechanisms have been employed in various tree description formalisms (Rambow et al., 1995;Rambow et al., 2001;Candito and Kahane, 1998;Kallmeyer, 2001; Guillaume and Perrier, 2010) and TAG extensions (Becker et al., 1991;Rambow, 1994a).
the prime motivation for this survey is another grammatical formalism defined in the same article: multiset-valued linear indexed grammars (Rambow, 1994b, MLIGs), which can be seen as a low-level variant of UVG-dls that uses multisets to emulate unfulfilled dominance links in partial derivations.
