Objective

Mathematical content is one of the corner stones of the information society, for education just as much as for science, technology, or business ventures. Advances by European science in representing mathematics on the web enable content actors to create and deliver quality mathematical content to users across Europe, who need it in their work, studies and at home.

The objective of the WebALT project is to showcase a significant application that uses a combination of existing standards for representing mathematics on the web and existing linguistic technologies in order to enable the creation of language-independent mathematical content that is well-suited for localization in a multi-lingual and multi-cultural environment. While this will require extending both existing standards and existing technologies beyond what is currently available, such extensions are expected to be minor compared to the existing linguistic resources to be combined in this project.
