390<langstring xml:lang="en">Early developments in access to Math - at @Science workshop Access to Science for Blind and Visually Impaired</langstring><p>The advent of mark-up languages has helped to distinguish also in the world of mathematics content from presentation. This talk gives a personal overview<br />
on some of the developments that have first lead to the invention of new mathematical notations such as Stuttgart Maths Notation and ASCII Maths Notation.<br />
The multiplicity of such writing systems has manifested the need for a lingua franca and led to the SGML-based MATHS project which demonstrated multimodal<br />
access using speech, nonverbal audio, and dynamic Braille.<br />
However, in this talk we will also raise the issue of openness of maths, as suggested already by T.V. Raman in his LATEX-based system Aster. Future research<br />
will have to address testability of systems providing access to maths.</p>
