DML-EU Recent Progress in European Projects for Digitising Mathematics – An Essential Contribution for the Construction of the Digital Mathematical Library DML Bernd Wegner, TU Berlin IATUL 2003, Ankara, June 2-5

Contents Digital Mathematics Library European Project DML-EU Vision History European Project DML-EU Networking activities Joint research activities Management Running projects

DML - Vision Make all mathematical literature digitally available digitise old literature integrate digitally born material Set standards for making it easily accessible easily readable files integrated access structures for distributed collections

DML - Vision Provide improved searching and navigation facilities interior links in articles exterior links between articles semantics mark-up Care about long-term preservation and readability access under changing technology standards formats suitable for archiving Administration system for archiving

DML-EU in FP6 Slot in the FP6: Integrated Infrastructure Initiative I3 Call on December 17, 2002 Main Problem: no funding for massive digitization needs networking activities and joint research activities Main objectives: create a framework for DML in Europe provide this for local and national digitisation projects in Europe

Overview Networking

DML-EU Registry Register information on: digitised content content under consideration for digitisation content available for digitisation tools for handling standards copy right issues content parameters

DML-EU integrating projects support of regional digitisation projects support of efforts to find local funds adhere to international standards use of international know how define a test bed design a project, if not done already coordinate applications apply for funding independently from DML-EU

Some running projects ERAM (Electronic Research Archive in Mathematics) EMANI (Electronic Mathematics Archiving Network Initiative) RusDML/ РусЭМБ (Russian Digital Mathematics Library)

ERAM objectives Bibliographic metadata & digitization of Full text for classical mathematical literature JFM: Jahrbuch über die Fortschritte der Mathematik capture the content of the JFM in a database Develop a digital archive in connection with the JFM Funded by DFG

ERAM selected journals Aequationes matematicae - Birkhäuser Commentarii mathematici Helvetici - Birkhäuser Geometric and functional analysis - Birkhäuser Inventiones mathematicae – Springer Mathematische Annalen - Springer Mathematische Zeitschrift - Springer Matematicheski Sbornik – RAS Metrika - Springer Numerische Mathematik - Springer Semigroup forum - Springer

EMANI partners Objectives: Long-term digital archiving & digitisation of mathematical documents Structure: Co-operation between content providers and libraries Content providers: Springer-Verlag, Birkhäuser Verlag, Teubner Verlag, Vieweg Verlag Journals from the ELibM in EMIS Hopefully others after the initial discussions The Mathematical Community is involved through coordinator and advisory board

EMANI partners Network of libraries with centres of excellence State and University Library Göttingen Cornell University Library,Ithaca Tsinghua University Library, Beijing MathDoc, France Orsay mathematics library consortium Cellule MathDoc, Grenoble URL: http://www.emani.org
