This page contains draft fill-ups of the registration forms that we have to include into the MathML specification as a normative appendix.

about registrations

The steps are detailed in http://www.w3.org/2002/06/registering-mediatype as explained by Bert

Examples can be found at http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-sparql-query/#mediaType and http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/WD-exi-20080919/#internetMediaType

none
Optional parameters
charset as per RFC3023
Encoding considerations
same as XML as specified in RFC3023.
Security considerations
none
Interoperability considerations

The MathML specification is the product of the World Wide Web Consortium's Math Working Group. The W3C has change control over this specification.

Note: it has been experienced by several authors of this specification that adding the charset parameter made the type not being properly recognized, more information in son-of-rfc-3023

MathML Presentation

This registration is for community review and will be submitted to the IESG for review, approval, and registration with IANA.

Type name
application
Subtype name
mathml-presentation+xml
Required parameters
none
Optional parameters
charset as per RFC3023
Encoding considerations
same as XML as specified in RFC3023
Security considerations
none
Interoperability considerations
This media type is a more specific type than "application/mathml+xml". Hence any entity of this type is also of the type "application/mathml+xml" as well as "application/xml". An agent offering this specific media type MUST also offer the "application/mathml+xml" media type. An agent delivering an entity of this media type SHOULD only do so if it knows the receiving party supports it, for example thanks to the Accept http header, and should otherwise use the more generic type.
Published specification

Additional information
  • Magic number(s): see RFC3023
  • File extension(s): none
  • Windows Clipboard Flavor Name: "MathML Presentation"
  • Macintosh file type code(s): MMLp
  • Macintosh Universal Type Identifier code: public.mathml.presentation conforming to public.mathml (as described above) and to public.xml
