Description
Summary:Abstract. This demonstration describes the results of the first year of the Eu-DML project, an initiative building a new multilingual service for searching and browsing the content of existing European portals of mathematical content. We demonstrate the first versions and proofs of concept of the EuDML portal, its contents ’ aggregator, and a toolset for added value. AboutEuDML. — EuDML, theEuropean DigitalMathematicsLibrary(www.eudml.eu), is a project that will build a new multilingual service for searching and browsing the con-tent of existing European mathematical portals [5,1]. It will be based on a rich metadata repository, aggregating metadata and full text of heterogeneous and multilingual collec-tions of digitised and born digital content (articles, books, theses, etc.). The service will merge and augment the information about each document from each collection, and also will match documents and references across the entire combined library. Entities such as authors, bibliographic references and mathematical concepts will be singled out and linked to matching items in the collections; similar mechanisms will be provided as public web-services so that end-users or other external services will be able to discover and link to EuDML items. This way, EuDML will be a new major international player in the emerging landscape of scientific information discovery services, enabled for reuse in new added value chains. EuDML is partially funded by the Competitiveness and In-
