A Formal Model for MAWC Operations

A MAWC operation has one (or two) expressions as arguments, and also returns an expression.  In other words, both the input and the output are MAWC tagged documents.

ABSTRACT operator

 

The ABSTRACT operation, ai(f{O1, O2, …, On}) extracts all objects of level j.

 

     ai(f{O1, O2, …, On}) = f{O’1, O’2, …, O’n} where L’i of O’i in {O1, O2, …, On}is equal to j.
