OpenMath

OpenMath is a semantic markup format for mathematical formulae. There is a strong relationship to the MathML recommendation from the Worldwide Web Consortium, and a large overlap between the two developer communities. MathML deals principally with the presentation of mathematical objects, while OpenMath is solely concerned with their semantic meaning or content.

OMDoc

Omdoc is a markup format for mathematical documents. The ActiveMath group employs an exetended version of Omdoc. It extends OmDoc by pedagogical anotation. OmDoc extends OpenMath by content items and metadata. Content items are grouped in concept and additional items. Concept items comprise for instance definitions, assertions, axioms and some more. Additional items, such as examples, motivations, exercises or elaborations support pedagogically concept items. Metadata provides a more detailed description of items. For example, by metadata we can express difficulty or abstractness of an item. Moreover an item can target a specific group, originating from a specific field or learning context.

Exercise system

George Goguadze provides a brief reference manual for the exercise language on his website. Moreover here are some examples:
