Bulgarian Digital Mathematical Library BulDML and Czech Digital Mathematical Library DML-CZ as parts of the European Digital Mathematics Library EuDML

The paper presents in brief the Bulgarian Digital Mathematical Library BulDML and the Czech Digital Mathematical Library DML-CZ. Both libraries use the open source software DSpace and both are partners in the European Digital Mathematics Library EuDML. We describe their content and metadata schemas; outline the architecture system and overview the statistics of its use.

European Digital Mathematics Library

The aim of this paper is to survey the European Digital Mathematics Library project goals and achievements as well as an outlook for sustainable development. “Making mathematics literature published in Europe available online” www.eudml.org

Library of useful knowledge. Mathematics ...

Another ed. of v. 1, containing only the articles of De Morgan and Parker, was issued in 1836.

Recent Developments in Digital Mathematics Libraries

The paper presents recent developments in the domain of digital mathematics libraries towards the envisioned 21st Century Global Library for Mathematics. The Bulgarian Digital Mathematical Library BulDML and the Czech Digital Mathematical Library DML-CZ are founding partners of the EuDML Initiative and through it contribute to the sustainable development of the European Digital Mathematics Library EuDML and to the global advancements in this area.

Teaching Materials Repository

The paper presents results from the development of a methodology and corresponding software tools for building an academic repository. The repository was filled up with gaming material. The repository architecture and key features of the search engine are discussed. The emphasis falls on solutions of the large set of problems concerning the development of proper mechanisms for semantics-based search in a digital repository.

No Royal Road but at Least a Gateway to the Mathematical Knowledge: The EuDML Project

Радослав Павлов - Представен е проектът EuDML – Европейската цифрова библиотека по математика (http://www.eudml.eu), който цели: • да създаде обща инфраструктура за безпроблемна навигация, търсене и взаимодействие в рамките на плътна мрежа от разпределено валидирано многоезично математическо съдържание в цифрова форма, което да е достъпно в цяла Европа, и така да направи математиката лесно достъпна за всички потребители; • да задоволи изискването за надежден и дългосрочен достъп до математическите изследвания. Представен е и българският принос в проекта – BulDML – цифрово хранилище за математическа литература на Института по математика и информатика на БАН (http://sci-gems.math.bas.bg).

Mathematics Game e-Library for Elementary School, study case: Mexico

One of the most relevant subjects for the intellectual formation of elementary school students is Mathematics where its importance goes back to ancient civilizations and which its importance is underestimated nowadays. This phenomenon occurs in Mexico, where 63.1% of the total population of elementary school students between the third and sixth grade have insufficient/elemental level of mathematics knowledge. This has resulted in the need to use a new mechanism to complement student’s classroom learning. With the rapid growth of wireless and mobile technologies, the mobile learning has been gradually considered as a novel and effective form of learning due to it inherits all the advantages of e-learning as well as breaks the limitations of learning time and space occurring in the traditional classroom teaching. This project proposes the use of a Mathematics Game e-Library integrated by a set of games for mobile devices and a distribution/management tool. The games are developed for running on mobile devices and for cover the six competencies related with the mathematics learning approach established in Mexico. The distribution/management tool allows students to reach contents according to their needs; this is achieved through a core engine that infers, from an initial profile, the games that cover the user’s knowledge gaps.

DML and RusDML – Virtual Library Initiatives for Covering All Mathematics Electronically

With the rapidly growing activities in electronic publishing ideas came up to install global repositories which deal with three mainstreams in this enterprise: storing the electronic material currently available, pursuing projects to solve the archiving problem for this material with the ambition to preserve the content in readable form for future generations, and to capture the printed literature in digital versions providing good access and search facilities for the readers. Long-term availability of published research articles in mathematics and easy access to them is a strong need for researchers working with mathematics. Hence in this domain some pioneering projects have been established addressing the above mentioned problems.
