Yes, Dreams... ;-) I've actually had thoughts about a Jelly based MathML/OpenMath taglibrary which would evaluate MathML/OpenMath XML fragments, generating a series of Java Objects representing the equation expressed in the syntax. Ideally, if a functional model was applied properly, such "equations" could be "evaluated" to return values.
Cool...
How much of these objects are actually already in common-math ? I have'nt seen so much yet.
Writing an evaluator for such functions is really not a big deal if one has objects for each functions. I've recently done this in a dumb way for +-*/ and would know how to do this more generically.
Is this of interest ? I would set myself to work... for sure...
Is it of interest to depend on xml things ? If we choose not to use xerces (e.g. Saxon's AElfred, or the one bundled in xmlrpc) then it's not a big deal but if we choose xerces it makes it quite enormous...
Are there plans for subprojects ? I think it could make sense... especially those ones based on external dependencies (eg. input-editors, displayers) or importing using classical OpenMath libraries (e.g. the one of RIACA which can communicate to symbol-math systems).
Cool to see this enthusiastically!
