An Approach to Similarity Search for Mathematical Expressions using MathML

Yokoi, Keisuke, Aizawa, Akiko (2009)

Towards a Digital Mathematics Library. Grand Bend, Ontario, Canada, July 8-9th, 2009

The recent global computerization and digitization trend has helped to increase the numbers of documents with mathematical expressions on the Web. These mathematical expressions have their own unique structures, and therefore, it is not an easy task for traditional search systems targeting natural languages to deal with them. We propose a similarity search method for mathematical equations that is particularly adapted to the tree structures expressed by MathML based on this background. The similarity...

An Online Repository of Mathematical Samples

Baker, Josef B., Sexton, Alan P., Sorge, Volker (2009)

Towards a Digital Mathematics Library. Grand Bend, Ontario, Canada, July 8-9th, 2009

With a growing community of researchers working on the recognition, parsing and digital exploitation of mathematical formulae, a need has arisen for a set of samples or benchmarks which can be used to compare, evaluate and help to develop different implementations and algorithms. The benchmark set would have to cover a wide range of mathematics, contain enough information to be able to search for specific samples and be accessible to the whole community. In this paper, we propose an on-line system...

Community Curation and Management of Mathematical Literature

Burns, John, Kerr, Nigel (2009)

Towards a Digital Mathematics Library. Grand Bend, Ontario, Canada, July 8-9th, 2009

JSTOR is one of the primary providers of scholarly mathematics texts, providing access to journals in mathematics and the sciences dating back to the mid 1600’s. There is now a critical mass of literature online and the task going forward is as much to provide tools to make it more accurate, more discoverable and more usable as it is to add more material. Often the tool building can be done by collaboration between information retrieval experts and practitioners in the field, irrespective of the...

Conversion of TeX Documents to PDF

Pejović, Aleksandar, Mijajlović, Žarko (2009)

Towards a Digital Mathematics Library. Grand Bend, Ontario, Canada, July 8-9th, 2009

We discuss in some detail some of the drawbacks of PDF files obtained from mathematical papers prepared in TeX, particularly concerning indexing, copy/paste and OCR capabilities.

Document Interlinking in a Digital Math Library

Goutorbe, Claude (2009)

Towards a Digital Mathematics Library. Grand Bend, Ontario, Canada, July 8-9th, 2009

Document interlinking is one of the prominent features that users expect from a digital library. Links may be internal (allowing easy navigation within a given literature repository) or may reference external documents living in other digital repositories, as well as the two main reviewing databases in Mathematics (namely Mathematical Reviews and Zentralblatt-MATH). We describe the linking system that has been implemented within the NUMDAM project.

Experimental DML over Digital Repositories in Japan

Namiki, Takao, Kuroda, Hiraku, Naruse, Shunsuke (2009)

Towards a Digital Mathematics Library. Grand Bend, Ontario, Canada, July 8-9th, 2009

In this paper the authors show an overview of Virtual Digital Mathematics Library in Japan (DML-JP), contents of which consist of metadata harvested from institutional repositories in Japan and digital repositories in the world. DML-JP is, in a sense, a subject specific repository which collaborate with various digital repositories. Beyond portal website, DML-JP provides subject-specific metadata through OAI-ORE. By the schema it is enabled that digital repositories can load the rich metadata which...

I2Geo: a Web-Library of Interactive Geometry

Libbrecht, Paul, Kortenkamp, Ulrich, Mercat, Christian (2009)

Towards a Digital Mathematics Library. Grand Bend, Ontario, Canada, July 8-9th, 2009

This paper describes I2Geo, the platform of the Intergeo project enabling math educators throughout Europe to publicly share interactive geometry constructions. This cross-cultural web-based platform makes each resource, be it a construction, a scenario of use, or a complete course, referenceable, editable, and reviewable. It is based on reusable tools, a fine grained ontology of mathematical concepts and skills, together with a description of educational pathways in Europe: together they allow...

Improving Mathematics Retrieval

Kamali, Shahab, Tompa, Frank Wm. (2009)

Towards a Digital Mathematics Library. Grand Bend, Ontario, Canada, July 8-9th, 2009

Despite the popularity of storing mathematical objects on the web, searching for mathematical expressions is extremely limited. Conventional retrieval systems are inadequate for mathematical expressions, because they are not tuned for text with complex structures that include only a few distinct terms. Surprisingly current approaches to the problem of retrieving mathematical information do not include a formal definition of the similarity between two expressions, and thus fail to find many relevant...

MathML-aware Article Conversion from LaTeX

Stamerjohanns, Heinrich, Ginev, Deyan, David, Catalin, Misev, Dimitar, Zamdzhiev, Vladimir, Kohlhase, Michael (2009)

Towards a Digital Mathematics Library. Grand Bend, Ontario, Canada, July 8-9th, 2009

Publishing in Mathematics and theoretical areas in Computer Science and Physics has been predominantly using TeX/LaTeX as a formatting language in the last two decades. This large corpus of born-digital material is both a boon — LaTeX is semi-semantic format where the source often contains indications of the author’s intentions — and a problem — TeX is Turing-complete and authors use this freedom to use thousands of styles and millions of user macros. Several tools have been developed to convert...

Ongoing Efforts to Generate “Tagged PDF” using pdfTeX

Moore, Ross (2009)

Towards a Digital Mathematics Library. Grand Bend, Ontario, Canada, July 8-9th, 2009

Recently PDF has been accepted as a standard for production of electronic documents, as ISO 32000-1:2008, with an acronym of PDF/UA (for “Universal Accessibility”). The second draft ISO 32000-2:2009 is to include specifications for including MathML tagging of mathematical environments and expressions. This talk presents a report on work-in-progress, aimed at: developing the primitive commands for pdfTeX needed to support the production of fully tagged PDF documents; writing appropriate TeX and...

Report on the Current State of the French DMLs
