+ Open Symbolic Notation, abbreviated OSN,
+ is an easy and flexible data-interchange text format
+ intended for the lightweight representation of
+ generic abstract syntax trees in the domain of formal languages.
+ In order to meet these design goals, OSN pursues the following features.

+ which is both <span class="emph ">easy for machines to process</span>,
+ and <span class="emph ">easy for humans to understand</span>.
+ As a mean to support <span class="emph ">efficient</span> information processing,
+ OSN aims at an economic representation of data
+ contrary to <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/REC-xml-20081126/#sec-origin-goals">XML design goal 10</a>.
+ Compared to other data-interchange formats based on symbolic expressions,
+ like <a href="http://people.csail.mit.edu/rivest/Sexp.txt">canonical symbolic expressions</a>,
+ representing arbitrary data in binary format is a secondary concern in the design of OSN,
+ as well as the support for canonicalization.
