Dear Madam/Sir,

OpenMath is an emerging standard for electronically communicating
semantically rich representations of mathematical objects between all
kinds of computer programs. The communication can take place between
electronic documents and software packages (e.g., via the World Wide
Web). The associated tools, which will be developed as part of the
OpenMath, will permit the display, manipulation, and access of
electronically stored mathematical information.

OpenMath is highly relevant for heavy industry, working with large
engineering type databases (such as in aerospace, car manufacturing),
as well as for technical and mathematical publishing.  OpenMath is an
XML enhancement, developed in close connection with the MathML working
group.

A great deal of the OpenMath activities have been taken up by the
European ESPRIT OpenMath Consortium and its North American
counterpart, NAOMI. The ESPRIT project aims at enabling mathematics to
really go interactive. The Seminar on OpenMath for Industry is part of
the Consortium's activities.

We would like to draw your attention to our Seminar on OpenMath for
Industry, June 11, 1999, at CWI, Amsterdam, the Netherlands. For more
details please have a look at the seminar URL

Looking forward to seeing you at the seminar,
