MATHEMATICS IN THE DIGITAL AGE OF SCIENCE (MS-50)
zbMATH Open as a hub for the Global Digital Mathematics Library
Olaf Teschke, olaf.teschke@fiz-karlsruhe.de
FIZ Karlsruhe, Germany
2021 marks the transition of zbMATH to an open platform, which is not just freely accessible ,
but provides open data and APIs that facilitate the connection of diverse facets of mathematical
information. We report on the achievements so far, and outline possible next steps in the future.
Mathematical Libraries and Knowledge Management, or There and Back
Again
Stephen Watt, smwatt@uwaterloo.ca
University of Waterloo, Canada
As its statements can be both deep and unambiguous, mathematical knowledge is both well-
suited and promising for machine treatment. At the same time, mathematical results have a
longevity of utility that gives their systematic handling a practical motivation. It has now been
twenty years since the first International Workshop on Mathematical Knowledge Management
and, since then, the subject has grown and matured to become a rich field of study. But we
do not yet have a comprehensive, accessible digital library of the mathematical literature. We
examine the state of digital mathematical literature collections, the series of developments nec-
essary to give immediate practical impact, and the longer path where mathematical knowledge
management enhances the utility of these digital collections.
