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