A system of characters, symbols, or abbreviated expressions used in an art or science or in mathematics or logic to express technical facts or quantities
A system of notation is a set of written symbols that are used to represent something such as music or mathematics. Musical notation was conceived for the C major scale and each line and space represents a note in this scale. some other abstract notation system like a computer language. a system of written marks or signs used to represent something such as music, mathematics, or scientific ideas
a comment or instruction (usually added); "his notes were appended at the end of the article"; "he added a short notation to the address on the envelope"
The unique elements of the Iconclass system are its alphanumeric classification codes, called notations They are made up of strings of digits and letters which, strung together in logical sequence, indicate an iconographic theme Notations always begin with one of the digits 0 - 9, corresponding to the ten main divisions of Iconclass Notations are code numbers that can be used to describe the subjects of visual documents In the following example of a rather lengthy notation, the various components are called by their names
Usually refers to a data format, such as BMP A notation identifies by name the format of unparsed entities, the format of elements that bear a notation attribute, or the application to which a processing instruction is addressed
Any written, audio, or visual record of choreography Standard dance notation systems range from the simple (e g , folk dance or ballroom notation) to the complex (e g , Laban notation, Benesh) Invented notation for dance could take the form of computer notation, animation, sculpting, prose, symbols and colours, flip books, and so on
a system of visual symbols-was developed to reinforce the singer’s memory of a chant melody learned from oral tradition Notation was also developed to specify pitches so that melodies for chants would be uniform throughout the far-flung Roman Catholic Church Notation was a great aid in the teaching of polyphonic music An important region for the development of notation was northern France, and the first known composers of notated polyphony were Leonin and Perotin
A mechanism for defining a data format for a non-XML document referenced as an unparsed entity This is a holdover from SGML that creaks a bit The newer standard is to use MIME datatypes and namespaces to prevent naming conflicts
192 as used here, an image employing organizational principles other than the formats associated with pictures or writing systems, especially reference lines and other geometric configurations Examples of notations are heraldry, graphs, charts and other maps, tables, and mathematical notations 193 In Nelson Goodman's sense, a system of characters that fulfills five criteria: syntactic disjunction, syntactic finite differentiation, semantic unambiguousness, disjoint compliance classes, and semantic finite differentiation
The mechanism by which a written analog to a physical process may be preserved for future use Generally involves symbols which can be interpreted at a later time to recreate the original process The symbols may be visual (pictographic) or metaphoric or schematic, or they may be arbitrary symbols In the latter case, the symbols may be assigned either to actions required to produce the end-result, or to actual aspects of the end-result Either of these choices requires that the enactor/performer know both how to perform the actions required, and how to correctly interpret the symbols
The most common method of recording chess moves today is called algebraic chess notation - Each file is lettered a-h from white's left to right; each rank is numbered 1-8 from white's side of the board - Each piece is designated by its initial: K = King; Q = Queen; R = Rook; B = Bishop; N = kNight - Pawn moves are indicated by the absence of an initial - Thus, 1 Nf3 means, "The knight moved to the f3-square on the first move," and 1 e4 means, "The pawn moved to e4 on Move 1 "
When content is not made up of standard data characters, the use of notations allows documents to incorporate or reference non-SGML data (such as graphics, video, sound, or small software applications)
Tells the parser what type of object is being referenced Usually refers to a data format of non-XML data, such as BMP A notation identifies by name the format of unparsed entities, the format of elements that bear a notation attribute, or the application to which a processing instruction is addressed
