Re: [office] OpenFormula definitions for ODF 1.4

Hi Patrick,

I do like the idea of Francis to refer to existing definitions, still, this definition should be public free available not behind a paywall.Â

Similar comments for corrections to this definition should be able to be made by everyone and not only by a club of paying members.Â

If we are an open standard, we should aim to refer only to open standards.

In the end, I can personally trust an ISO standard only as much as I can trust Wiki - ie. I like to have it reviewed by someone I can trust.;-)

Best regards,

Svante

Greetings,

The comment by Francis Cave today about not repeating definitions made
elsewhere prompted me to think about our replication of common
mathematical definitions in OpenFormula.

It maybe that too much has been invested in them to change now but for
the future, should we consider referencing a known source of formulas
for formal definition?

ISO defines symbols for math,
https://www.iso.org/obp/ui/#iso:std:iso:80000:-2:en, all hidden from the
public of course, functions anyone? I don't know of any.

Hope everyone is at the start of a great day!

Patrick
