Description
OpenMath is an extensible standard for representing the semantics of mathematical objects, such as array, matrix or transfer functions.
Ideas
Scilab as a generic platform for calling external codes should be able to manipulate (read, modify and write) OpenMath objects. To map the OpenMath API either SWIG or external_object could be used.
