${\displaystyle{\displaystyle\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{1}{n}}}$ The NIST Digital Repository of Mathematical Formulae is designed for a mathematically literate audience and should

1. facilitate interaction among a community of mathematicians and scientists interested in compendia formulae data for orthogonal polynomials and special functions;
2. be expandable, allowing the input of new formulae from the literature;
3. represent the context-free full semantic information concerning individual formulas;
4. have a user friendly, consistent, and hyperlinkable viewpoint and authoring perspective;
5. contain easily searchable mathematics; and
6. take advantage of modern MathML tools for easy to read, scalably rendered content driven mathematics.
