- MathQL-1 is particularly helpful in distributed systems where
-query engines are implemented as stand-alone units, because in this situation
- the query results are exchanged between the system components as well
- as the queries, and thus both the queries and the query results need to
-be encoded in a clearly defined format.<br>
- <br>
- Other languages to be developed in the context of the MathQL proposal
-will be suitable for queries about the semantic structure of mathematical
-data: this will include content-based pattern-matching (MathQL-2) and possibly
- other forms of formal matching involving for instance isomorphism, unification
+ As an RDF query language, MathQL-1 provides the main features
+required by the RDF community while complying with the needs of HELM.
+The peculiar aspects of this language concern the query results, which
+are highly structured and possess their own syntax, formally explained
+by a rigorous semantics.<br>
