15 <p> Matita is a new document-centric interactive theorem prover that
16 integrates several <a href="http://www.mkm-ig.org">Mathematical Knowledge
17 Management</a> tools and techniques. </p>
19 <p> Matita is <strong>traditional</strong>. Its logical foundation is the
20 Calculus of (Co)Inductive Constructions (CIC), and it can re-use
21 mathematical concepts produced by other proof assistants like
22 <a href="http://coq.inria.fr">Coq</a> and encoded in an
23 <a href="http://www.w3.org/XML/">XML</a> dialect. The interaction
24 paradigm of Matita is well known, having been inspired by
25 <a href="http://proofgeneral.inf.ed.ac.uk/">Proof General</a>, and its
26 proof language is procedural in the same spirit of LCF. </p>
28 <p> Matita is <strong>innovative</strong>: </p>
31 <li> its user interface sports high quality bidimensional rendering of
32 proofs and formulae exploiting
33 <a href="http://www.w3.org/Math/">MathML</a> markup, equipped with
34 direct manipulation of the underlying CIC terms; </li>
36 <li> its library is distributed: every authored concepts can be
37 published and become part of the Matita library which can be browsed as
38 an hypertext (locally or on the World Wide Web) and searched by means of
39 content-based queries; </li>
41 <li> the tactical language, part of the proof language, has
42 step-by-step semantics, enabling inspection and replaying of deeply
43 structured proof scripts </li>
