Capturing the Content of Physics: Systems, Observables, and Experiments

Abstract: Abstract. We present a content markup language for physics realized by extending the OMDoc format by an infrastructure for the principal concepts of physics: observables, physical systems, and experiments. The formalization of the description of physics observables follows the structural essence of the operational theory of physics measurements. The representational infrastructure for systems and experiments allow to capture the distinctive practice of physics: natural laws are supported by evidence from exper… Show more

“…Given markup on object, statement, and theory level, the soundness of mathematical systems can be assessed Scharpf et al [2018]. In addition, the PhysML variant accounts for the special characteristics of physics: observables, physical systems, and experiments Hilf et al [2006]. Moreover, Mathematical Question Answering (MathQA) systems have been built , Scharpf et al [2022a] to provide quick and concise formula answers to mathematical questions in natural language which are commonly asked on the web Scharpf et al [2020b].…”

“…The usefulness of migrating content to a structured format that is standardized is proved by the efforts to convert lecture notes from mathematics [18], [19], [20] and physics [21] into open formats like OMDoc or OpenMath. The aforementioned researches focus on converting L A T E X documents into XML vocabularies so that tasks like query the repository, browse related content, reuse and restructure content etc.…”

“…Papers in the natural sciences need an infrastructure for dealing with experimental and measurement data. We have already dealt with foundational aspects of experiments in [32]. For dealing with data aspects at the semantic level, we plan to build on the SACHS system [33,34], our semantic user assistance system for spreadsheets, which understands spreadsheets as active documents with respect to a background ontology in the content commons.…”
