Abstract: In 1963, O'Meara solved the classification problem for lattices over dyadic local fields in terms of Jordan decompositions. In this paper we translate his result in terms of good BONGs. BONGs (bases of norm generators) were introduced in 2003 as a new way of describing lattices over dyadic local fields. This result and the notions we introduce here are a first step towards a solution of the more difficult problem of representations of lattices over dyadic fields.
