Any particular system of characters, symbols, or abbreviated expressions used in art or science, to express briefly technical facts, quantities, etc.

A notation is a technical system of symbols used to represent unique things, such as ∑ for sum, € for Euro currency and ∞ for infinity. For high level computer languages, the notation is defined by a syntax that varies from language to language. For domain-oriented development, the domain terminology defines the domain notation. In each case, Intentional Software separates the notation from the code so that multiple notations can be used to express the same thing.

A system of characters, symbols, or abbreviated expressions used to express technical facts or qualities.

In dance, any written or visual record of choreography. Although standard dance notation systems exist, they are usually too complex for students at this level. Invented notation for dance could take the form of computer notation, animation, sculpting, symbols and colours, flip books, and so on. In music, any written or visual form of representing music compositions. Invented notation refers to any system of representation constructed to meet the unique requirements of a particular composer or piece of music; may be diagrammatic, descriptive, narrative, pictorial, tactile, or a combination of any of these. Details may be precise or general in nature. Electronic technology may be used to create unique notation systems. Standard notation refers to the system that uses the five-line staff and oval noteheads with stems placed on the staff to represent specific pitches and rhythms.

a special declaration that identifies the format of non-text external data so that the XML application will know how handle the data

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).

An XML structure that identifies the type of content contains by an element and suggesting a viewer to present it.

A representation for data (TIFF, TeX, EPS, etc.) declared in an SGML DTD. Entities within an SGML document may then refer to such a notation so that an SGML processor can direct the entity to the appropriate application for processing.

the system of figures, letters, and signs used in arithmetic and algebra to express number, quantity, or operations.

The method used to record a game. See algebraic.

The notation for chess moves used in this book is known as ALGEBRAIC or STANDARD NOTATION. The first eight chapters use LONG ALGEBRAIC NOTATION and the last eight chapters use SHORT ALGEBRAIC NOTATION. You may come across some books (published before about 1980) using a different notation: P-K4 instead of e2-e4. This is DESCRIPTIVE NOTATION.

System for recording moves and positions of a Chess game - Algebraic Notation, Long Algebraic Notation, Descriptive Notation, Figurine Notation, Forsythe Notation, Udemann Code, etc.
