Hi Markus,
it's not exactly a subset of LaTeX. Some commands were added some were removed. A large portion of those parts are documented here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Displaying_a_formula , and a complete list is available from http://1drv.ms/1RtoZoW For LaTeX users I created a LaTeX macro package so that they can copy and paste texvc style LaTeX code to regular LaTeX documents https://www.ctan.org/pkg/texvc However, there are two issues with this package: \and and \or are not supported by my LaTeX package since redefining those commands caused internal problems. However, most of the time people use the standard LaTeX command \lor and \land anyhow. Altogether, enwiki contains 969 \lor and 1581 \land. Statistics on the usage frequencies are available from https://gitlab.tubit.tu-berlin.de/data/wikiFormulae/tree/master
w.r.t 2) I have no idea how that relates to MathJax? Can you explain the background of your question?
Best Moritz

For a consumer, the main practical questions would be:
(1) What subset of LaTeX exactly do you need to support to display the math expressions in Wikidata? (2) As a follow up: does MathJAX work to display this? If not, what does?
Cheers,
Markus

The string is interpreted by the math extension in the same way as the Math extension interprets the text between the <math /> tags. There is an API to extract identifiers and the packages required to render the input with regular latex from here: http://api.formulasearchengine.com/v1/?doc or also https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/?doc#!/Math/post_media_math_check _type (The wikipedia endpoint has been opened to the public just moments ago) In the future, we are planning to provide additional semantics from there. If you have additional questions, please contact me directly, since I'm not a member on the list. Moritz

What will downstream users like us need to do to support this? How is this mapped to JSON? How is this mapped to RDF? It is a string representing markup for the Math extension. You can already test it here: http://wikidata.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/Q117940. See also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Displaying_a_formula. Maybe Moritz wants to say bit more as his students created the datatype. Cheers Lydia -- Lydia Pintscher - http://about.me/lydia.pintscher Product Manager for Wikidata Wikimedia Deutschland e.V.
