Report on the current state of the French DMLs

This is a survey of the existing digital collections of French mathematical literature, run by non-profit organizations. This includes research monographs, serials, proceedings, Ph. D. theses, collected works, books and personal websites

CEDRICS: When CEDRAM Meets Tralics

summary:We describe CEDRICS, a general purpose system for automated journal production entirely based on a LaTeX input format. We show how the very basic ideas that initiated the whole effort turned into an efficient system because of the ability of LaTeX markup to parametrise simultaneously and without compromise high typographical quality for the PDF output as well as accurate XML metadata with (presentation) MathML formulas. This was made possible by the availability of two entirely independent LaTeX source processors with specific focus but full TeX-macro language support: PdfLaTeX by Hàn Thế Thành, and Tralics by José Grimm

Digital Mathematics Libraries: The Good, the Bad, the Ugly

The idea of a World digital mathematics library (DML) has been around since the turn of the 21th century. We feel that it is time to make it a reality, starting in a modest way from successful bricks that have already been built, but with an ambitious goal in mind. After a brief historical overview of publishing mathematics, an estimate of the size and a characterisation of the bulk of documents to be included in the DML, we turn to proposing a model for a Reference Digital Mathematics Library--a network of institutions where the digital documents would be physically archived. This pattern based rather on the bottom-up strategy seems to be more practicable and consistent with the digital nature of the DML. After describing the model we summarise what can and should be done in order to accomplish the vision. The current state of some of the local libraries that could contribute to the global views are described with more details

MDML: The Mathdoc Digital Mathematics Library

International audienceFollowing the steps of previous projects such as EuDML, Mathdoc is launching its Digital Mathematics Library. Based on a reliable infrastructure made for Numdam, learning from previous projects, and relying on a network of institutions we trust, we aim to push the ball further for accessing mathematical content online. We focus for a start on the aggregation part, aiming to reach a critical mass of mathematical content by harvesting various sources: OJS instances, preprint repositories , and locals DMLs. We thus build a database of mathematical documents, linking back to the source's website for accessing content

Report on the EuDML external cooperation model

One of the main tasks of the European Digital Mathematics Library project was to define a cooperation model with a variety of stakeholders that would allow building a reliable and durable global reference library, aiming to be eventually exhaustive. In this paper we present the EuDML external cooperation model and the business plan as the basis for its sustainability and further development.Comment: Small edits for publication. Cost section adde
