  1. EMIS 2000the European Mathematical information Service and its developments IV Seminario de SINM October 2 - 4, 2000 Bernd Wegner Professor for mathematics at TU Berlin Editor-in-Chief of Zentralblatt Scientific Coordinator of EMIS

  2. EMISEuropean Mathematical Information Service • Offered by EMS - European Mathematical Society • Server of the EMS • Offered through Zentralblatt MATH / FIZ Karlsruhe • 40 mirrors world-wide • Founded in 1995 • URL http://www.emis.de

  3. Databasesoffered through EMIS • MATH (Zentralblatt) • MATHDI (Education in Math.) • COMPUSCIENCE (Informatics) • MPRESS (Preprint index)

  4. The Electronic Library • Journals • Proceedings and Collections of Papers • Monographs • Collected Works • Supervision: EPC-EMS Electronic Publishing Committee of the EMS

  5. Projects • http://www.emis.de/projects/... • EULER (access to mathematics in the web) • ERAM (Jahrbuch database, electronic archive for classical math.) • LIMES (European Database in Mathematics)

  6. The concept of ElibEMS • Collect freely accessible electronic publications in mathematics • Mirror electronic journals as provided by the editors • Install electronic versions of printed journals, possibly with a delay compared to the printed version • Only peer-reviewed articles will be accepted • Establish electronic archives of proceedings

  7. The concept of ElibEMS- cont. • improve accessibility by a world-wide system of mirrors of ELibEMS • Mirror electronic journals as provided by the editors • Support the installation and distribution of “electronic only” publications • Guarantee reliable archiving by co-operation with big mathematical libraries (SUB Göttingen, Kroch Library at Cornell)

  8. ELibEMS deliverables • About 40 mathematical journals • Complete texts of the articles in these journals: TEX, Postscript, DVI, PDF (as suggested by the editors) • Links to the database Zentralblatt MATH • Integrated access to these journals through MATH and EULER • Scarcely distributed articles from Proceedings

  9. Future plans for ELibEMS • Improvements of readability by a uniform PDF-offer • Enhanced Standardisation of the offer (identifiers, content of journals’ homepages) • Arrangement of internal links • Hosting more academic and non-profit journals (Project Euclid) • Co-operation with similar offers (partners of Project Euclid)

  10. Projects • http://www.emis.de/projects/... • EULER (access to mathematics in the web) • ERAM (Jahrbuch database, electronic archive for classical math.) • LIMES (European Database in Mathematics)

  11. User Network WWW- Catalogues OPAC Preprints E-Journals Database ...?

  12. User WWW EULEREngine Z39.50 DC DC DC DC DC WWW-Catalogues OPAC Database Preprints E-Journals

  13. EULER offersan open, high quality portal • cross collection browsing and searching • consolidated hit-list, de-duplication • integrated resources • homogeneous access to heterogeneous resources • high precision of results • tested incorporation of alien data

  14. EULER offersa European dimension • co-operation between important content providers over Europe • a prototype for an exploitable sustainable service • solutions for related projects (DESIRE etc.) • comparison with other related projects • user needs evaluations

  15. EULER technological achievements • common metadata profile for distributed resources • successful application of international standards (DC, Z39.50, http) • de-duplication identifiers • metadata-maker, other technical tools for new data provider

  16. State of the EULER Project • beta-version has been testedsuccessfully • documentation for new providers available • guidelines for users available • end of the project in September 2000 • final review with best marks • high recognition in the mathematical commuinty

  17. EULER future • transition to a web service supported by libraries and mathematical societies • extension of resources with a good coverage of European national libraries • combined offer within a consortium • follow-up project for economic viability (comercial publishers, charged services) and extension to other sciences

  18. Addresses Prof. Dr. Bernd Wegner Fachbereich Mathematik, TU Berlin, Sekr. MA 8-1 Straße D. 17. Juni 135, D-10623 Berlin Editor-in-Chief, Zentralblatt MATH Franklinstr. 11, D-10587 Berlin E-Mail Wegner@math.tu-berlin.de
