French term or phrase: porter sur
Hi,

I would like to know if "focus on" is meant here?

"De même au lieu de n’avoir qu’un ensemble fini d’arcs pouvant arriver à un point on peut avoir un ensemble de possibilités, chacune étant un arc simple ou un ensemble fini d’arcs, un « join », ce qui amène à un arc structuré. Un parcours dans le graphe n’étant plus forcément simplement un chemin (c’est à dire un ordre total d’états qui se succèdent dans le temps), mais un ordre partiel, i.e. les traces d’exécution, mais aussi les traces logiques correspondantes, devenant en toute généralité des ordres partiels. Par ailleurs les annotations d’arcs deviennent plus complexes. Au lieu de porter sur un arc simple elles portent sur des configurations plus complexes entre tous les nœuds avant et après correspondant à un cas. "

Thank you

describe/represent
Explanation:
I think arc annotations are typically said "to describe" or "to represent". But then, it really depends on the tone and precision of the text.
