Call for papers: Towards a Digital Mathematics Library (DML 2009)
July 8-9th, 2009, Ontario, CA c/o CICM 2009

Workshop webpage:
http://www.fi.muni.cz/~sojka/dml-2009.html

Deadlines: April 29th: abstract submissions
May 4th: paper submissions
May 22nd: paper acceptance/rejection decision
May 29th: versions for the proceedings due
Jul 8th: workshop date, proceedings on site

Submissions:
http://www.easychair.org/conferences?conf=dml2009
Submissions will be refereed on the basis of technical quality, novelty,
potential impact for building DML, and clarity. Final paper versions
should
conform to the Springer LNCS (llncs class) style, preferably using
LaTeX2e.

Submission categories:
Full paper: 4-12 LNCS pages
Short paper/poster/work in progress report: 1-4 LNCS pages

Overview:
Mathematicians dream of a digital archive containing all peer-reviewed
mathematical literature ever published, properly linked and
validated/verified. It is estimated that the entire corpus of
mathematical
knowledge published over the centuries does not exceed 100,000,000
pages, an amount easily manageable by current information technologies.

The workshop's objectives are to formulate the strategy and goals of
a global mathematical digital library and to summarize the current
successes and failures of ongoing technologies and related projects,
asking such questions as:
# What technologies, standards, algorithms and formats should be used
and what metadata should be shared?
# What business models are suitable for publishers of mathematical
literature, authors and funders of their projects and institutions?
# Is there a model of sustainable, interoperable, and extensible
mathematical library that mathematicians can use in their everyday
work?
# What is the best practice for
* retrodigitized mathematics (from images via OCR to MathML and/or
TeX);
* retro-born-digital mathematics (from existing electronic copy in
DVI, PS or PDF to MathML and/or TeX);
* born-digital mathematics (how to make needed metadata and file
formats
available as a side effect of publishing workflow [CEDRAM/Euclid
model])?

Proceedings:
will be published by Masaryk University and will be available on site,
with best papers chosen for postconference proceedings published
by renowned publisher or for journal.

Keynote (conditioned by funding approval):
David Ruddy (Project Euclid, Cornell University Library, US): Getting
from Here to There: Assembling the Pieces of the Digital Mathematics
Library
(tentative title)

Topics:
(include, but are not limited to)
o search, indexing and retrieval of mathematical documents
o ranking of mathematical papers, similarity of mathematical documents

o document conversions from/to MathML, OpenMath, LaTeX,
PostScript and [tagged] PDF
o conversions between various mathematical formalisms
o mathematical document compression
o processing of scanned images
o algorithms for crosslinking of bibliographical items,
intext citations search
o mathematical document classification, MSC 2010
o mathematical text mining
o mathematical documents metadata exchange via OAI-PMH and/or OAI-ORE
o long term archiving, data migration
o reports and experience from math digitization projects
o math publishing with long term archival goal
o software engineering aspects of creating, handling MathML,
OMDoc, OpenMath documents, and displaying them in web browsers
