The quality of digital mathematical library depends on the formats and quality of data it offers. We show several enhancements of (meta)data of the Czech Digital Mathematics Library DML-CZ. We discuss possible minimalist modification of regular LaTeX documents that would simplify generating basic metadata that describes the article in an XML/MathML format. We also show a proof of concept of a method that enables us to include LaTeX source code of mathematical expressions into pdfTeX-generated PDFs...
We report on a new project to design a semantic ground truth set for mathematical document analysis. The ground truth set will be generated by annotating recognised mathematical symbols with respect to both their global meaning in the context of the considered documents and their local function within the particular mathematical formula they occur. The aim of our work is to have a reliable database available for semantic classification during the formula recognition process with the aim of enabling...
This paper describes an effort to develop a metadata element set for the exchange of descriptive metadata about mathematical literature. The approach taken uses the Dublin Core Application Profile (DCAP) framework, based on the DC Abstract Model. A fully developed DCAP for mathematical literature would be valuable, as both a guide and constraint in the creation of metadata records suitable for harvesting via OAI or sharing through other means. Adhering to the DCAP model would also enhance global...
We describe an ongoing project carried out by the Mathematical Institute of Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts, and the Faculty of Mathematics, Belgrade. The project concerns building of electronic resources and presentations of electronic editions of mathematical works in Serbia, including retro-digitization of old books, articles and the other mathematical works, and development of the corresponding virtual library. The resources built in the project are freely accessible through Internet.
The aim of the DML-CZ project (2005–2009 — Czech Academy of Sciences, Masaryk University in Brno, Charles University in Prague, Czech Republic) is to investigate, develop and apply techniques, methods and tools that would allow the creation of the Czech Digital Mathematics Library. The most important tool developed and used in the course of the project is the Metadata Editor — a complex web-based system supporting all essential steps in the development of the article oriented digital library: integration...
