- <h1>Economic development and Scientific and Technological Prospects</h1>
-
- <h2>Identification of exploitable results</h2>
- <p>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.</p>
- <p>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.</p>
- <p>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.</p>
-
- <h2>Target Market</h2>
- <p>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.</p>
- <p>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.</p>
- <p>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.</p>
-
- <h2>Consortium's Dissemination and Exploitation Strategy</h2>
- <p>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.
- <br/>
- The foreseen dissemination steps include:</p>
-
- <ol>
- <li>Preparation of an ``information pack'', including a folder and CDROM
- with demos.</li>
- <li>Presentation of MOWGLI to national and international conferences on
- I.T.Technologies.</li>
- <li>Presentation of MOWGLI to thematic conferences on Education, Digital
- Libraries, Formal Verification and so on.</li>
- <li>Advertising to actors/institutions which may be direct users or may
- channel the information to final users (such as the World Wide Web
- Consortium).</li>
- <li>Technical papers and articles to be sent to specialised reviews.</li>
- <li>Management of the MOWGLI Web site.</li>
- <li>Dissemination of technical achievements in specific scientific
- communities, such as XML-related interests groups.</li>
- </ol>
-
- <p>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.</p>
