The ordinal sum construction is an important way to generate new triangular norms (t-norms for short) on real unit interval from existing ones. Saminger extended the ordinal sum construction of t-norms to bounded lattices in a direct way and proved that, except for very special cases the ordinal sum of t-norms on bounded lattices may be not a t-norm. To ensure the ordinal sum of t-norms is always a t-norm, several modified ordinal sum of t-norms have been developed. This note reviews several such constructions. As a byproduct, we point out that some recent results concerning ordinal sum of t-norms by A\c{s}ici can be seen as corollaries of these construction.
