Economic development and Scientific and Technological Prospects

Identification of exploitable results

MOWGLI is meant to develop, evaluate, fine-tune and deliver a complete + prototype supporting friendly and interactive access to huge, distributed + repositories of content-based mathematical knowledge. The purpose of the + project is to overcome some of the main obstacles that currently hinder a + wider dissemination of Information Technologies in the mathematical and + research community (comprising both professionals and students). This is + intended as a public service for the whole community of users, and we + expect no direct commercial profit by our work.

Of course, the core technologies and languages developed in MOWGLI may be + exploited in a lot of different ways, according to the nature and + exploitation plan of each partner.

In particular, it should be clear that having a coherent, distributed + library of structured mathematical knowledge, saved in a clearly defined, + well documented and application independent format, is just the starting + point of a wider, potentially enormous process. Building on the grounds + provided by MOWGLI, a lot of different services can be imagined, and + independently developed by different organisations. Inside the project, we + shall just give a few hints in this direction, supporting advanced and + interactive forms of searching and navigation, as well as automatic + validation facilities, for suitable fragments of the library.

+ +

Target Market

The main target market of MOWGLI is education. Here, the potentiality + offered by a semantic description of the information for the development + of interactive, electronic textbooks are enormous. In particular, the + MOWGLI prototype could become an essential tool for a wider and more + friendly dissemination of mathematical knowledge.

A second, potential market is Publishing. Digital libraries currently + suffers from clear limitations due to the machine-readable but not + machine understandable encoding of the information. No other kind of + elaboration than displaying or printing is usually possible. There is no + possibility of cut-and paste, formal checking, complex searching. For + instance, we cannot write a spider going around searching for a proof with + a given template, because there is not structure, and in particular no + semantics inside the text.

A third market are industries specialised in formal verification and + security. These industries are usually asked to check a given system or + protocol for security issues or formal validation of functional/temporal + behaviour. The result of the formalisation work and its automatic + validation is typically in an internal format which is obscure even to + experts. Studying the possibility to automatically generate a more + friendly presentation in usual mathematical notation is thus a major + topic.

+ +

Consortium's Dissemination and Exploitation Strategy

According to the Project Workplan, a considerable effort will be devoted + to the dissemination/exploitation of the results. During the first six + months, the consortium will undertake the development and execution of a + workplan to achieve successful dissemination of the project results. In + particular, the very nature of the project suggests to involve the + largest community of professionals during the modelling phase. Here, we + shall be open to any contribution, even soliciting them, still keeping + final technical decisions inside the Project. +
+ The foreseen dissemination steps include:

+ +

Preparation of an ``information pack'', including a folder and CDROM + with demos.
Presentation of MOWGLI to national and international conferences on + I.T.Technologies.
Presentation of MOWGLI to thematic conferences on Education, Digital + Libraries, Formal Verification and so on.
Advertising to actors/institutions which may be direct users or may + channel the information to final users (such as the World Wide Web + Consortium).
Technical papers and articles to be sent to specialised reviews.
Management of the MOWGLI Web site.
Dissemination of technical achievements in specific scientific + communities, such as XML-related interests groups.

+ +

Management of the Exploitation and Dissemination activities is a specific + Work-package that will be lead by the Project Exploitation Board. It is + planned that all partners will nominate qualified persons as exploitation + managers to coordinate their own exploitation activities. The Exploitation + Board will be in charge of the preparation of the exploitation and + dissemination plan.
