The copyright holder grants you permission to redistribute this
document freely as a verbatim copy. Furthermore, the copyright
holder permits you to develop any derived work from this document
provided that the following conditions are met.
a) The derived work acknowledges the fact that it is derived from
this document, and maintains a prominent reference in the
work to the original source.
b) The fact that the derived work is not the original OpenMath
document is stated prominently in the derived work. Moreover if
both this document and the derived work are Content Dictionaries
then the derived work must include a different CDName element,
chosen so that it cannot be confused with any works adopted by
the OpenMath Society. In particular, if there is a Content
Dictionary Group whose name is, for example, `math' containing
Content Dictionaries named `math1', `math2' etc., then you should
not name a derived Content Dictionary `mathN' where N is an integer.
However you are free to name it `private_mathN' or some such. This
is because the names `mathN' may be used by the OpenMath Society
for future extensions.
c) The derived work is distributed under terms that allow the
compilation of derived works, but keep paragraphs a) and b)
intact. The simplest way to do this is to distribute the derived
work under the OpenMath license, but this is not a requirement.
If you have questions about this license please contact the OpenMath
society at http://www.openmath.org.

encodingError
error
This symbol represents the error which is returned when an application
detects a lexical or syntactic error. It should have one argument
which is a string, which should explain the error that occurred.
An application returns an 'encoding error'
The symbol <OMS cd='arith1' name='plus'/> may not take a String
as first argument
algorithm
error
This symbol represents the error which is returned when an application
raises an error due to algorithmic restrictions of the
implementations. This includes operations not implemented or partially
implemented, divisions by zero and other domain errors. It will have
at least one argument, which is a string describing the problem. It
may have a second argument which is relevant to the error.
An application returns an 'algorithm' error
multiplication by $\sqrt{-1}$ has not been implemented
limitation
error
This symbol represents the error which is returned when an application
reads an error caused by the limitations of an implementation when
dealing with OpenMath objects such as limits on the size of objects or
on the kind of objects manipulated. This can include limits on the
size of a bytearray or integer, a limit on the number of arguments of
an application or the inability to deal with Unicode characters
outside ISO latin 1. It will have at least one argument, which is a
string describing the problem. It may have a second argument which is
relevant to the error.
An application returns a 'limitation' error
Integers $> 2^{32}-1$ are meaningless to this application
unexpected
error
This symbol represents the error which is returned when an application
reads an error caused by an unexpected problem. It will have
at least one argument, which is a string describing the problem. It
may have a second argument which is relevant to the error.
An application returns an 'unexpected' error
A kill was executed on the process whilst it was evaluating the expression
11
asynchronousError
error
This symbol represents the error which is returned when an application
encounters some asynchronous error, for example if a limit in memory
has been reached, or an error has occurred in some system call (I/O
error, disk full, machine down). It should have one argument, which is
a string describing the problem.
An application returns an 'asynchronousError' error
A 'disk-full' error occured
