The project will create a distributed repository of significant historical monographs in mathematics. The participation of these three institutions is significant not only because of their pioneering work in building digital libraries, but also because of their extraordinary collections in this topical area. Michigan will contribute 1,000 monographic volumes focusing on non-Euclidean geometry from its collection; Cornell has digitized 576 volumes of mathematical monographs, and will generate OCR to enhance access to their materials. The State and University Library Gottingen will contribute digitized monographs, dissertations and multivolume works of the electronic Mathematical Archive and the database "Jahrbuch uber die Forschritte der Mathematik", funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft. Its collections are regarded as unparalleled in this area. These funding requested will be used primarily to develop an interoperability layer with the three strong digital library systems at these institutions. In doing so, the participants will focus on many of the issues central to the advancement of digital libraries, including distributed repositories and integration of digital resources, advanced access and retrieval, high levels of interoperability, and models for dissemination and use.

该项目将创建一个分布式的数学重要历史专著库。这三家机构的参与意义重大，不仅因为它们在建设数字图书馆方面的开创性工作，还因为它们在这一主题领域的非凡收藏。密歇根大学将从其收藏中贡献1000本专注于非欧几里得几何的专著；康奈尔大学已经将576卷数学专著数字化，并将生成OCR以增强对其材料的访问。哥廷根国立和大学图书馆将提供数字化的专著、论文和电子数学档案的多卷作品，以及由德国数学研究协会资助的数据库“Jahrbuch uber die Forschritte der mathematics”。它的藏品在这个地区被认为是无与伦比的。这些要求的资金将主要用于开发与这些机构的三个强大的数字图书馆系统的互操作性层。在此过程中，与会者将重点关注数字图书馆发展的许多核心问题，包括分布式存储库和数字资源集成、高级访问和检索、高水平互操作性以及传播和使用模型。
