◦ In a VSM-sentence, every concept has an identifier, so numeric concepts (no matter how large or small) need an ID too.
◦ Therefore to-exponential generates a normalized string-ID for every real number, given as a string in decimal or exponential notation.
◦ Next, vsm-dictionary adds a prefix to these IDs, so they align with other ontology or CV IDs used in VSM-sentences.
◦ Like this, numeric concepts can be managed in the vsm-box user interface, and shared in VSM-JSON.
◦ The original CURIE form was 00:<ID> – so for example 00:1.23e+2, for the number 123=0.0123e4=1230e-1=….
◦ The new URI form is https://w3id.org/00/<ID>.

• Go to https://vsm.github.io/demo,
• type 123 {Enter} ,
• => a VSM-term with a classID having the 00 CV's prefix is added.
