Enhancing Accessibility of Theoretical Frameworks with TheoryML Markup Language

This proposal presents TheoryML, a Markup Language tailored for making theoretical frameworks more accessible in research. It aims to capture critical elements of knowledge, organize them parsimoniously, and facilitate clear communication. By leveraging TheoryML, researchers can represent theories through constructs, relationships, and boundary assumptions, while also supporting qualitative and quantitative presentations. The adoption of TheoryML promises to improve the efficiency of searches, explorations, and meta-studies within the technology community, ultimately fostering interdisciplinary collaboration in research.
