Paper Abstract:
|
A grammar-based approach to the specification of mathematical notation is proposed. The method is based on a metastructure
using attributed context-free grammars for capturing the meaning of mathematical concepts. The proposal is
based on an authoring model which addresses the user needs as a fundamental requirement. It is structured around a
scope mechanism allowing the mapping between semantics and syntax to be modified at any time during authoring. This
process supports the dynamics of the meaning-to-syntax binding necessary in the authoring of mathematical concepts. |
