Abstract / Description of output

The goal of the ProofPeer project is to make collaborative theorem proving a reality. An important part of our plan to make this happen is ProofScript, a language designed to be the main user interface of ProofPeer. Of foremost importance in the design of ProofScript is its fit within a collaborative theorem proving environment. By this we mean that it needs to fit into an environment where peers who are not necessarily part of the current theorem proving and programming language communities work independently from but collaboratively with each other to produce formal definitions and proofs. All aspects of ProofScript are shaped by this design principle. In this paper we will discuss ProofScript’s most important aspect of being an integrated language both for interactive proof and for proof scripting.
