EBNF: Extended Backus–Naur form

Extended Backus–Naur form (EBNF) is an extension and simplification of the original Backus–Naur form (BNF) metasyntax notation. Originally developed by Niklaus Wirth, the most commonly used variants of EBNF are currently defined by standards, most notably ISO-14977.
