The OpenMath project
(Mike Dewar, NAG Ltd)
Although mathematical notation is incredibly expressive and flexible, it is also surprisingly ambiguous. OpenMath, developed largely under an IST multimedia project, is a lightweight mechanism for encoding the semantics of mathematical objects so that they can be exchanged between applications and users. When combined with other emerging technologies such as MathML and XSL it has the potential to under-pin a new generation of mathematical applications.
This talk will give a brief technical overview of OpenMath before moving on to discuss how it can be used to build other frameworks and applications such as mathematical components, interactive books, formula databases etc.
