General Description

As mathematics is an essential foundation of science and has practical applications in many sciences, it is feasible to expect that the semantic technologies that have been developed for mathematics can be transferred to other sciences. In cooperation with other domain experts from physics, geosciences, and chemistry, members of the JEM network have begun pursuing the extension of OMDoc towards Physics, a first result is PhysML.

General Description

Mathdox is a standard for writing interactive mathematical documents. It is based on several existing xml standards:

• DocBook is used for the general structure of documents. It allows to create sections, paragraphs, itemized lists, etc. "DocBook The Definitive Guide" is a nice book that can be used as an introduction to or a reference of DocBook. It is available in both an online and an offline version.

OMDoc (Open Mathematical Documents) is a semantic markup format for mathematical documents. While MathML only covers mathematical formulae and the related OpenMath standard only supports formulae and "content dictionaries" containing definitions of the symbols used in formulae, OMDoc covers the whole range of written mathematics.

Coverage

OMDoc allows for mathematical expressions on three levels:

Object level

formulae, written in Content MathML (the non-presentational subset of MathML), OpenMath or languages for mathematical logic.
