Description:
Science,
Technology and Medical (STM) publishing is moving rapidly toward
the use of XML, and in particular, toward the use of MathML
for the encoding of mathematical data. As a result of this shift,
best practices are in flux. Once workflows are established,
however, the decisions made today may have wide-ranging implications
for the long-term value of XML document collections. This is
particularly true in the areas of metadata, searching and indexing.
To take advantage of this unusual window of opportunity for
improving the infrastructure for searching STM documents, the
National Science Digital Library program at the National Science
Foundation is sponsoring two conferences over the next two years.
This workshop, the first of the two, seeks to bring together
experts on searching techniques and managers of STM document
collections from both academics and industry.
The purpose of the workshop is two-fold:
- To identify promising ways of better searching mathematical
content. Topics will include metadata formats, taxonomies,
smart authoring tools, use of MathML, XQuery and related technologies,
etc.
- To identify a framework for activity leading to the adoption
and deployment of improved mathematical searching. Topics
will include assessment of required standards activity, current
practices, coordination between authoring tools and publishing
tools, legal or business constraints, etc.
The workshop will consist of both presented papers and working
sessions. The conclusions of the workshop will be summarized
in a position paper, which will be circulated and publicized
in the STM community.
