DML 2008

Mathematicians dream of a digital archive containing all peer-reviewed mathematical literature ever published, properly linked and validated/verified. The objectives of DML workshop were to formulate the strategy and goals of a global mathematical digital library and to summarize the current successes and failures of ongoing technologies and related projects, asking such questions as: “Is there a model of sustainable, interoperable, and extensible mathematical library that mathematicians can use in their everyday work?”.

The 17 contributions trying to tackle these tasks and answer similar questions are divided into five parts in this book:

• Towards Digital Mathematics Library,
• Towards Mathematical OCR and Search,
• Digitization Reports,
• Digitization Technologies and Platforms
• Digitization Tools.

The workshop was featured in Nature 454, 263 (2008) | doi:10.1038/454263b
