Digital Mathematics Library

在这个项目中，一个利益相关者工作组在12个月的时间里举行了几次会议，以规划一个可扩展的数字化和数字图书馆项目，旨在“捕获”“二十世纪数学”的智力资本。康奈尔大学图书馆担任该小组的协调员。参加这项活动的人正在考虑关键问题和挑战，并提出战略建议，以协调努力，对数学科学文献进行回顾性数字化。由此产生的数字收藏将作为研究人员，科学家，教师和学生的国际资源，提供了大量的历史资料，最初出现在印刷形式。该项目促进了美国和其他几个国家的不同机构和组织中出现的一些目前不相关的数学数字化项目之间的合作和协调。协调这些不同的努力，有望促进一个系统的方法来数字保存数学科学材料，并为用户提供一个综合的手段来访问它们。 鉴于该项目与数学科学家研究社区的需求有着深刻的联系，NSF数学科学部为该项目提供了共同资助。

In this project a working group of stakeholders are meeting several times over a twelve-month period to plan a scalable digitization and digital library project aimed at "capturing" the intellectual capital of "Twenty Centuries of Mathematics". The Cornell University Library is serving as the coordinator of this group. Participants in this activity are considering the key issues and challenges and recommending strategies to inform a coordinated effort to perform a retrospective digitization of the literature of mathematical sciences. The resulting digital collection is to serve as an international resource for researchers, scientists, faculty, and students, providing access to a large body of historical materials that originally appeared in print form. This project facilitates cooperation and coordination among a number of currently uncorrelated digitization projects in mathematics that have emerged at separate institutions and organizations in the U.S. and several other countries. Coordination of these different efforts promises to promote a systematic approach to digital preservation of mathematical sciences materials, and provide users with an integrated means of accessing them. Given the deep connection of this project to the needs of the research community of mathematical scientists, the NSF Division of Mathematical Sciences is providing co-funding for this project.
