Indeed. If, as I suspected, the original poster was looking at converting
programs from one to the other, then I suspect the quality is pretty poor.

my assumption as well. There is no reasonable way to translate a
Mathematica /Maple program which heavily depends on the programming
language semantics into ML or OpenMath and read it in to the other
system and expect it to work. It is not impossible, though: one could
write a Mathematica system evaluator in Maple, or a Maple system
evaluator in Mathematica, and have the "content" part of the ML or
OpenMath entirely encode the program as a string.
This is akin to exercises that computer science students sometimes
embark on . Like writing a Lisp system in Java or a Java system in
Lisp. Or both :)
In the unlikely event that the original poster just wants to be able to
translate sin(x) into Sin[x], that should work via MathML.
