+ 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>
+ <br>
+ 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 and definitions expansion (MathQL-3).<br>
