Objectives of OpenMath
30 March 1995
Abstract:
OpenMath aims at providing a universal means of communicating mathematical
information between applications. In this paper we set out the objectives
and design goals of OpenMath , and sketch the framework of a model that meets
these requirements. Based upon this model, we propose a structured
approach for further development and implementation of OpenMath . Throughout,
emphasis is on extensibility and flexibility, so that OpenMath is not confined
to any particular area of mathematics, nor to any particular
implementation. We give some example scenarios to motivate and
clarify the objectives, and include a brief discussion of the parallels
between this model and the theory of human language perception.
