The Web represents a fundamental change in the underlying METAPHOR for knowledge storage, a change in which interconnectivity and interactivity play central roles. The intention is to provide ways of communicating MATHEMATICS which, in addition to rendering mechanisms, facilitate AUTOMATIC processing, SEARCHING and indexing, and reuse in other mathematical APPLICATIONS and contexts. This includes contexts where the underlying mathematical semantics are important, such as, for example, in a distance learning course in Linear Algebra.
