Description
Summary:Abstract. An essay about mathematics being a sublanguage of other natural languages: how it may be represented, stored, searched and handled in several projects of (European) Digital Mathematics Libraries as DML-CZ or EuDML. A framework for solving problem of computing of similar papers in a digital library is proposed, allowing several types of similarity type definitions: plagiarity counting on common word n-grams, topicality counting on common topics, or conarrativity counting on the same narrative. The vector of the most similar documents for a given similarity type is suggested to be computed using the algorithm by Page for web page ranking, often explained as ‘random walking’. Science is based on trust and integrity. – Venkatraman Ramakrishnan Nobel laureate 2009 1
