[om] Matlab phrasebook?

[Andrew Solomon]

hi Cleve,

As you probably know, OpenMath is an emerging xml standard for representing
mathematical objects. A *phrasebook* is not formally defined, but
roughly, it is a program you can run from, say, a MATLAB session to 
import an xml object into MATLAB (making it into a native MATLAB object)
and to export a native MATLAB object into the xml representation.

The authoritative and very general description of a phrasebook
is at http://www.openmath.org/standard/index.html 
while the use Ron Shonkwiler wishes to put it to is described at:
http://www.illywhacker.net/papers/ascm.ps 
or less tersely
http://www.illywhacker.net/papers/javamath.ps 

Finally, a more reflective look at the notion of phrasebook can be
found in my research report:

I hope that helps. If you have any further questions, please do ask!

best wishes,

Andrew Solomon
