Translating ISO 12083 Mathematical Markup for Electronic Documents
Keith E. Shafer, Roger Thompson · 1995
In this paper, we describe a general translation tool that can transform tagged text into arbitrary output formats. Specifically, we describe how OCLC makes scientific documents containing mathematical markup available on the World Wide Web. The translation capabilities we developed to do this help realize the potential of the Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML) to provide users with a single, non-proprietary document representation that can be translated on demand to other output formats. This enables publishers who target the WWW as a delivery medium to use the latest advances in HTML without constant revision of their document archives.
