----------------------------
> Implement an OpenMath Phrasebook
> --------------------------------
>
> Key: MATH-237
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MATH-237
> Project: Commons Math
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Bryce Nordgren
> Priority: Minor
> Attachments: OpenMathPhrasebook.ods
>
>
> The two major XML grammars for mathematical information on the web are
> OpenMath and MathML. Both grammars construct mathematical expressions using
> the symbols from OpenMath content dictionaries. A reference set of stable
> content dictionaries is maintained by the openmath society, such that fixed
> mathematical concepts have a fixed/permanent location within their
> "namespace". This offers a unique opportunity to map the implementations in
> commons math to a universal conceptual space such that users of the library
> can request a "concept" without necessarily knowing what class implements it.
> A "Phrasebook" is a concept articulated by the OpenMath standard as the item
> bearing the responsibility for matching a symbol in the content dictionary
> with an implementation on the host system. Including a "Phrasebook" in
> commons math would facilitate mapping of the orthodox OpenMath symbolset to
> code provided by the library.
> I would envision this as a registry, with the function of a multimap (unique
> keys/multiple values). Keys would be the fully qualified name of the
> OpenMath symbol, and values would be the code to execute.
> Thoughts?
