	Empty set (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The boundary points in it, which are empty, are in the empty set, and the set is therefore closed, while the interior points in it, which are empty again, are the subset of the empty set, and the set is therefore open.
		The closure of the empty set is empty.
		In the axiomatization of set theory known as Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory, the existence of the empty set is assured by the axiom of empty set.

	Axiom of empty set - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In set theory, the axiom of empty set is one of the axioms of Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory.
		In some formulations of ZF, the axiom of empty set is actually repeated in the axiom of infinity.
		Also, the ZF axioms can also be written using a constant predicate representing the empty set; then the axiom of infinity uses this predicate without requiring it to be empty, while the axiom of empty set is needed to state that it is in fact empty.

	Non-empty set - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In set theory, a set is called non-empty (or nonempty) if it contains at least one element, and is therefore not the empty set.
		One reason is that we can easily make logical errors when we make hypotheses about the empty set, which is often nonintuitive and can be tricky to reason about correctly (see Empty set for further discussion of this).
		On the other hand, there certainly are times when the empty set is a special case and really does need to be excluded from a hypothesis.

	Set Theory
		The language of set theory, in its simplicity, is sufficiently universal to formalize all mathematical concepts and thus set theory, along with Predicate Calculus, constitutes the true Foundations of Mathematics.
		Rather, sets are introduced either informally, and are understood as something self-evident, or, as is now standard in modern mathematics, axiomatically, and their properties are postulated by the appropriate formal axioms.
		For instance, it is desirable to have the “set of all integers that are divisible by number 3,” the “set of all straight lines in the Euclidean plane that are parallel to a given line”, the “set of all continuous real functions of two real variables” etc.

		Here we will notate the empty set {}, but another notable notation, invented by Bourbaki is the symbolism or ∅, which is approximated sometimes by the glyph "Ø" and confused occasionally with the Greek letter "φ".
		We speak of "the empty set" rather than "an empty set": in set theory, two sets are equal if they have the same elements; therefore there can be only one set with no elements.
		It may then be helpful to think of a set as a bag containing its elements; the empty set is an empty bag.

		In axiomatic set theory and the branches of logic, mathematics, and computer science that use it, the axiom of empty set isone of the axioms of Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory.

	XML Information Set (Second Edition)
		The information set of an XML document is defined to be the one obtained by parsing it according to the rules of the specification whose version corresponds to that of the document.
		An information set corresponding to a real document will necessarily be consistent in various ways; for example the [in-scope namespaces] property of an element will be consistent with the [namespace attributes] properties of the element and its ancestors.
		This may not be true of an information set constructed by other means; in such a case there will be no XML document corresponding to the information set, and to serialize it will require resolution of the inconsistencies (for example, by outputting namespace declarations that correspond to the namespaces in scope).
