The structure of the Witt group of the rational numbers \(\mathbb{Q}\) is given by the exactness of the Milnor sequence for the Witt group of the field \(\mathbb{Q}\). This is a standard result in quadratic form theory, and the usual proof of exactness of this sequence is based on Milnor's approach. In this paper the author provides a new proof based on purely quadratic form theoretical results, in particular quadratic form theory over the \(p\)-adic fields \(\mathbb{Q}_p\) and the strong Hasse principle for isotropy of rational quadratic forms. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0911.00025].
