	'description' has been modified:
		Before: GPAD and GPI document structures are defined using a standard BNF notation, which is summarized below. terminal symbols are single quoted non-terminal symbols are unquoted zero or more symbols are indicated by following the symbol with a star; e.g. Annotation* zero or one symbols are written using square brackets; e.g. [Qualifier] alternative symbols are written using vertical bars groupings are written using parentheses complementation is writte using minus symbol GPI and GPAD documents consist of sequences of Unicode characters and are encoded in UTF-8 [RFC 3629].
		After: The need for a way to represent genes/gene products separately from annotations, as well as the need to use the evidence ontology has lead to the creation of the GPAD (Gene Product Annotation Data) and GPI (Gene Product Information) formats, defined here. Whilst GPAD and GPI have been defined for use within the Gene Ontology Consortium for GO annotation, this specification is designed to be reusable for analagous ontology-based annotation - for example, gene phenotype annotation. GPI and GPAD documents consist of sequences of Unicode characters and are encoded in UTF-8 [RFC 3629].
