Technical & Scientific Prospects Sample Clauses

Technical & Scientific Prospects. There are a number of different aspects to the technical and scientific results which it is hoped will follow from the project. In the first place we will further develop and evolve a number of emerging technologies, designed to deliver a new semantic web, in a concrete, practical setting. Although focussed very much on mathematics, our approach will certainly have applications in other areas of science and engineering. The principal interest of a number of partners, both academic (Manchester, UKOLN at Bath) and commercial (Stilo Technology Ltd), lies in developing the semantic web itself, and they are likely to look for new and novel applications beyond mathematics to take this aspect of the project forward. The involvement of several partners, namely Stilo, NAG, UWO and Bath, in W3C working groups means that where appropriate the work carried out under XXXXX will have a direct impact on wider work for developing standards and technologies for the web in general. For example, at the time of writing the W3C Math Group is setting up a sub-committee to consider whether it should develop extensions to MathML for mathematical service description as distinct from the work on general service descriptions being done elsewhere in W3C. Both Xxxxx and NAG are members of this sub-committee. It is worth noting that, during the OpenMath project, the European Consortium and the W3C Math Group collaborated successfully to produce a set of semantic descriptions for basic mathematical objects. Such collaboration is crucial in the world of web standards. Several partners are experts in the development of mathematical software. Again this is a mix of both commercial partners (NAG) and academic partners (Bath, Nice and Western Ontario). If all these partners adapt their software to support XXXXX then their users will be able to solve larger problems, or existing problems more accurately and efficiently. This has the potential to effect numerous areas of science and engineering. The flexibility and modularity which XXXXX is designed to bring will have a number of benefits too. In particular, the reduced development costs which follow from it make it viable to develop systems tailored for small or niche audiences. The advantages of this in a world where every discipline is becoming fragmented into more and narrower specialisations are clear.
