Digital Mathematics Library

在这个项目中，一个由利益相关者组成的工作组在12个月的时间里召开了几次会议，以规划一个可扩展的数字化和数字图书馆项目，旨在“捕获”“20世纪数学”的智力资本。康奈尔大学图书馆是这个小组的协调人。该活动的参与者正在考虑关键问题和挑战，并建议策略，为协调一致的努力提供信息，以执行数学科学文献的回顾性数字化。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，提供对最初以印刷形式出现的大量历史材料的访问。该项目促进了在美国和其他几个国家的独立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。这些不同努力的协调有望促进数学科学资料数字化保存的系统方法，并为用户提供获取这些资料的综合手段。鉴于该项目与数学科学家研究界的需求密切相关，美国国家科学基金会数学科学部为该项目提供联合资助。

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.
