Introducing the mini-DML project

International audienceBetween the hope of a comprehensive Digital mathematics library with many efficient entry points and the actual dissemination of heterogeneous partial lists of available material, there is a path towards multiple distributed databases allowing integrated search, metadata exchange and powerful interlinking. The mini-DML project, initiated by Cellule MathDoc, is a prototypal implementation of this vision. We will briefly discuss its roots, definition, and outline a proposal of good practice in metadata exposure and retrieval, as a mean to turn it (and its expected companion competitors) into a useful service
