| OMDoc 1.1 has been released December 29. 2001 |
| |
+----------------------------------------------------+
OMDoc is a content-based markup format for manipulating, archiving, and
communicating mathematical knowledge on the Internet. It is used as the
basis for mathematical knowledge bases, computer-supported learning
systems, and electronic publishing of mathematical text.
OMDoc is an extension of the OpenMath standard [1] to the document level,
it supplies structured content-markup for mathematical statements (axioms,
theorems, proofs, definitions, texts (mixing formal content with
mathematical text). Furthermore it supplies syntax for a notion of a
structured theory hierarchy known from algebraic specification formalisms
like CASL [2].
Since OMDoc builds on OpenMath and XML, OMDoc can be directly converted
into MathML [3], which can be rendered in Mozilla and IE (via plug-ins).
OMDoc 1.1 is a maintenance release that stabilizes the experiences with
OMDoc 1.0. The changes are mainly non-disruptive in often-used parts
of OMDoc, e.g. adding optional attributes and children. The main new
features are the addition of a new referencing and presentation system
for OMDoc elements and a completely re-written specification document.
