Abstract:
Originally published as a Recommendation by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) in 1998, MathML was the first XML application to achieve Recommendation status. Although the language has been around for almost six years, it has only been within the last two years that MathML has seen a rapid increase in use and acceptance.
Several high-profile organizations now utilize XML-MathML workflows, including the US Patent Office and the American Institute of Physics. MathML is attractive to Scientific, Technical, and Medical (STM) publishers for several reasons, including ease of integration with standard XML workflow software, value enhancements for online documents, and increased accessibility for sight-impaired individuals.
