Contribution to programme/key action objectives

-

The Project contributes to build a user friendly information society, and - in particular it meets the following general objectives of this - program:

-
    -
  1. (multimedia content) confirming Europe as a leading force in this field, - realizing the potential of its creativity and culture;
    2. -
  2. (essential technologies and infrastructure) enabling technologies which - are the foundations of the information society, driving their - development, enhancing their applicability, and accelerating their take - up in Europe.
    3. -
-

As a matter of fact, the project is based in an essential way on the use - of most part of the recent recommendations of the World Wide Web - Organization for Web publishing and human-computer interaction (XML, XSL, - XLL, Namespaces, MathML, RDF, etc.). In particular, we aim to prove how - all these specifications naturally fit together, when trying to build a - full, integrated description (comprising content, notation, metadata, - etc.) of a given field of knowledge. At our knowledge, the project is the - first of the kind, and could become a paradigmatic example in the - integrated use of these technologies.

-

The project also addresses most of the issues of the multimedia content - key action, namely: electronic publishing, digital heritage and cultural - content, education, information access, filtering and handling. Actually, - all these aspects are and must be covered in our project, in order to - reach our objectives. In particular, the educational potential of our - system should not be neglected either: it could become an essential tool - for a wider and more friendly dissemination of mathematical knowledge. For - instance, if supported by a suitable technology, proving theorems in a - proof assistant could be as amusing as playing a video game. We imagine - bunches of young researchers contributing to the free development of the - library for the mere gratification of seeing their name as actual editor - (or, why not, original author) of a specific fragment.

-

Finally, the project is particularly related to the specific key-action - III.2.3 (access to scientific and cultural heritage). In fact, the aim - of our system is exactly to improve access by students and professionals - to the fast-growing mathematical knowledge base, allowing mathematical - documents to be retrieved, served, and processed directly on the Web. More - over, our system is meant to be compatible with most of the existing tools - for the mechanisation of mathematics and the automation of formal - reasoning (proof assistants and logical frameworks). The possibility to - build coherent sub-libraries of formal mathematical developments would - provide an essential (and unique) added value to the library itself, - making of Europe a leader in this area.

-

Maybe, having the possibility to process, analyse and elaborate - mathematical structures as data, the time will come when we shall finally - be able to start a completely new and exciting field of research on - mathematics: namely a scientific, empirical study on the real - structure of mathematical entities, and the ``way of thinking'' of - mathematicians.
