Dear All, (01)
The brief exchange on decimal numerals prompts a tenuously related thought -
not all of life is easily tackled using logic, least of all mathematics.
MathML is a practical notation which covers a lot of mathematics, and is
simple because it has no ambitions to be anything more than a practical
notation. (02)
We could gain benefits from defining good interfaces between notations which
can represent some logic (such as OWL) and MathML. We could also think about
how MathML takes advantage of ontologies. (03)
Consider the thing that is 5 metres. In MathML we would happily define this
thing as follow: (04)
<apply>
<times/>
<cn>5</cn>
<ci definitionURL="&unit;Metre"/>
</apply) (05)
>From an ontology for quantities and units, it should be possible to learn that:
a) there is a "times-like" operator on (real, length) pairs which evaluates
to give a real,
b) there is a length (called the Metre) which everybody knows,
and hence that the MathML is valid. (06)
There are many quantities for which similar statements could not be made. (07)
Best regards,
David (08)
