The OpenMath Standards

• The OpenMath Standard describes the structure of OpenMath objects, encodings and content dictionaries.
• The Symbolic Computation Software Composability Protocol (SCSCP) specifies how OpenMath-encoded objects can be communicated between software systems for remote procedure calls.
• There are also a number of associated documents describing different kinds of type systems which can be used to augment the information in content dictionaries.
