[+] TEI Guidelines mention MathML, OpenMath, and OMDoc (Christoph in “KWARC was!”, 31 Jul)
Someone in the humanities must be interested in OMDoc. I was really surprised to find a reference to OMDoc in the section “Formulæ and Mathematical Expressions” guidelines (a.k.a. specification) for TEI. TEI (Text Encoding Initiative) is the standard semantic markup language for humanities, social sciences and linguistics, much like DocBook for technical manuals. All that [...]

[+] Descriptive science (Jon Awbrey in MathWeb - New pages [en], 25 Jun)
Jon Awbrey: + article
<font size="3">☞</font> This page belongs to resource collections on [[Logic Live|Logic]] and [[Inquiry Live|Inquiry]].
A '''descriptive science''', also called a '''special science''', is a form of [[inquiry]], typically involving a community of inquiry and its accumulated body of provisional knowledge, that seeks to discover what is true about a recognized domain of [[phenomena]].
