Properties used in Wikipedia edit

The following properties are available in Wikipedia, Wikiversity, and other Wikimedia wikis and are displayed when clicking on the annotated formulae. See w:Help:Displaying_a_formula#Semantics_and_links for a more detailed documentation. The assumption when implementing the semantics feature in mw:Extension Math was that relations or formulae like the Mass-Energy-Equivalence are annotated on Wikidata.

General Properties edit

As opposed to the properties above that are used for semantic annotations in Wikipedia the following properties are used under the assumption that the corresponding wikidata item defines a mathematical/physical concept which has a definiendum that can be derived (calculated from) other symbols.
