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