notability date October 2011 primary sources date October 2011 DocumentDefinition Markup Language DDML is an XML schema language proposed in 1999 by various contributors from the xml dev electronic mailing list . It was published only as a W3C Note, not a Recommendation, and never found favor with developers. DDML began as XSchema , a reformulation of XML Document Type Definition DTD s as full XML documents, so that elements and attributes, rather than declarations, could be used to describe a schema. As development continued, the name was changed to DDML, reflecting a shift away from the goal of replicating all DTD functionality, in order to concentrate on providing a robust framework for describing basic element attribute hierarchy. DDML offered no datatype s or functionality beyond what DTDs already provided, so there was not much advantage to using DDML instead of DTDs. DDML did, however, inform the development of the next generation of XML based schema languages, including the more successful XML Schema W3C XML Schema and RELAX NG .

Other uses Definition disambiguation Unreferenced date October 2009 In mathematics , well definition is a mathematical or logical definition of a certain concept or object a function mathematics function , a property philosophy property , a relation mathematics relation , etc. which uses a set of base axiom s in an entirely unambiguous way and satisfies the properties it is required to satisfy. Usually definitions are stated unambiguously, and it is clear they satisfy the required properties. Sometimes however, it is economical to state a definition in terms of an arbitrary choice one then has to check that the definition is independent of that choice. On other occasions, the required properties might not all be obvious one then has to verify them. These issues commonly arise in the definition of functions. For instance, in group theory , the term well defined is often used when dealing with coset s, where a function on a coset space is often defined by choosing a representative it is then just as important that we get the same result regardless of which representative of the coset we choose. As an example, take the definition f x sub 1 sub f x sub 2 sub if x sub 1 sub x sub 2 sub then the definition ... function . Two other issues of well definition arise when defining a function f from a set X to a set ..., f x should be an element of Y for all x X . For example, the function f x x sup 2 sup is not well ... is well defined if any given object either is an element of the set, or is not an element of the set ... function on S and a is an element of S , then this is written as f a and is read f a is defined ... for E x sub 0 sub , y sub 0 sub ,... has not been specified in the definition of E .

wiktionary An ostensive definition conveys the Meaning linguistic meaning of a term by pointing out examples. This type of definition is often used where the term is difficult to define verbally, either because the words will not be understood as with children and new speakers of a language or because of the nature of the term such as colors or sensations . It is usually accompanied with a gesture pointing out the object serving as an example, and for this reason is also often referred to as wikt definition by pointing definition by pointing . Ostensive definitions rely on an analogy analogical or case based reasoning by the subject they are intended to. Citation needed date February 2007 For example, defining red by pointing out red objects apples, stop signs, roses is giving ostensive definition, as is naming. Ostensive definition assumes the questioner has sufficient understanding to recognize the type of information being given.

Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 The lexical definition of a term, also known as the dictionary definition, is the Meaning linguistic meaning of the term in common usage. As its other name implies, this is the sort of definition one is likely to find in the dictionary. A lexical definition is usually the type expected from a request for definition, and it is generally expected that such a definition will be stated as simply as possible in order to convey information to the widest audience. Note that a lexical definition is descriptive , reporting actual usage within speakers of a language , and changes with changing usage of the term, rather than prescriptive , which would be to stick with a version regarded as correct regardless of drift in accepted meaning. They tend to be inclusive, attempting to capture everything the term is used to refer to, and as such are often too vague for many purposes. When the breadth or vagueness of a lexical definition is unacceptable, a precising definition or a stipulative definition is often used. Words can be classified as lexical or nonlexical.

Unreferenced date December 2009 An extensional definition of a concept or term formulates its meaning by specifying its extension semantics extension , that is, every object philosophy object that falls under the definition of the concept or term in question. For example, an extensional definition of the term nation of the world might be given by listing all of the nations of the world, or by giving some other means of recognizing the members of the corresponding class. An explicit listing of the extension, which is only possible for finite sets and only practical for relatively small sets, is a type of enumerative definition . Extensional definitions are used when listing examples would give more applicable information than other types of definition , and where listing the members of a set mathematics set tells the questioner enough about the nature of that set. This is similar to an ostensive definition , in which one or more members of a set but not necessarily all are pointed out as examples. The opposite approach is the intensional definition , which defines by listing properties that a thing must have in order to be part of the set captured by the definition.

In mathematics , the field of definition of an algebraic variety V is essentially the smallest Field mathematics field to which the coefficients of the polynomial s defining V can belong. Given polynomials, with coefficients in a field K , it may not be obvious whether there is a smaller field k , and other polynomials defined over k , which still define V . The issue of field of definition is of concern in diophantine geometry . Notation Throughout this article, k denotes a field. The algebraic closure of a field is denoted by adding a superscript of alg , e.g. the algebraic closure of k is k sup alg sup . The symbols Q , R , C , and F sub p sub represent, respectively, the field of rational ... x sub n sub is the zero locus of a single element of k x sub 1 sub , , x sub n sub if k ... sup alg sup . A field of definition of a variety V is a subfield L of k sup alg sup such that V is an L ... . Andr Weil proved that the intersection of all fields of definition of a variety V is itself a field of definition. This justifies saying that any variety possesses a unique, minimal field of definition ... of definition. Viewing the real projective line as being the equator on the Riemann sphere, the coordinate ... field of definition Q . The following map defines a C isomorphism from the complex projective ... over k if the associated k sup alg sup algebraic set is a reduced scheme.

A precising definition is a definition that extends the lexical definition of a term for a specific purpose by including additional criteria that narrow down the set of things meeting the definition. For example, a dictionary may define the term student as 1. anyone attending an educational institution of any type, or 2. anyone who studies something. However, a movie theater may propose a precising definition for the word student of any person under the age of 18 enrolled in a local school in order to determine who is eligible to receive discounted tickets. Precising definitions are generally used in contexts where vagueness is unacceptable many law legal definitions are precising definitions, as are company policies. This type of definition is useful in preventing disputes that arise from the involved parties using different definitions of the term in question. A precising definition is intended to make a vague word more precise so that the word s meaning is not left to the interpretation of the reader or listener. Here is an example From a class syllabus Class participation means attending class, listening attentively, answering and asking questions, and participating in class discussions. This is similar to a stipulative definition , but differs in that a stipulative definition may contradict the lexical definition, while a precising definition does not.
