Web Embedded

CDF offers easy-to-author interactivity and convenient deployment options that can be used alone or integrated into your existing workfl ow.

Combine text, graphics, and even interactive apps in one document with a single easy-to-use tool, without requiring specialist programming skills. Convert existing content to CDF with XML and MathML processing technology. Manage editorial revisions with annotation tools.

CDF documents become enhanced ebooks for the desktop, full-page web documents, embedded web objects, and mobile apps—a seamless multiplatform deployment framework.

THE POWER BEHIND CDF

Automation by DesignIntelligent automation

in every part of the system,

from algorithm selection

to plot layouts to user

interface design

Free-Form Linguistic InputFree-form linguistic input lets

you type in your idea—from

a simple plot to a complex

image processing operation—

and get results

Built-in Knowledge: AlgorithmsSpecialized algorithms for many

scientifi c and technical areas,

from fi nancial engineering to

computational biology

Built-in Knowledge: Computable DataReal-time access to

frequently updated and

meticulously maintained

computable data

Integrated Graphics & VisualizationInteractive 3D graphics,

complex scientifi c plots,

expansive business charts, and

automatic graph visualization—

all fully built in and ready to use

Symbolic DocumentsEverything is an expression,

even whole documents,

allowing them to be operated

on programmatically

CDF is built on the same technologies that are behind Mathematica®—the world’s leading computation platform—and Wolfram|Alpha®—the world’s fi rst computational knowledge engine. Every CDF comes with the technology innovations that Wolfram has brought to the world over decades.

“Wolfram technology let me compose the

text and all 650 interactive fi gures in the

same document. Even better, it creates a

unique eBook that lets you actually interact

with the fi gures on the page through

dynamic computation.”

–Eric Schulz Author and Instructor, Walla Walla Community College

“After using the Briggs/Cochran Calculus

ebook that uses beta CDF technology,

many faculty members have told us, ‘This

has exceeded our expectations and won

several industry awards.”

Today’s online documents are like yesterday’s paper—fl at, lifeless, inactive. Instead,

the Computable Document Format (CDF) puts easy-to-author interactivity at its core,

empowering readers to drive content and generate results live.

Launched by the Wolfram Group, the CDF standard is a computation-powered

knowledge container—as everyday as a document, but as interactive as an app.

Example: TextbooksCreate easy-to-deploy courseware that computes and presents results as students drive—produced directly by authors in a single, easy-to-use tool for typesetting, data, and interactivity.

Example: Infographics and Blogs

Turn infographics into infoapps using always-current data and interactive graphics—powered by real-time computation.

Example: Reports and PresentationsMake every report or presentation interactive with real-time computation, enabling customers to test multidimensional “what if” scenarios.

Adopting CDF gives ideas a broad communication pipeline—accelerating

research, education, technical development, and progress.
