Abstract. The Mathematics Subject Classification (MSC), maintained by the American Mathematical Society's Mathematical Reviews (MR) and FIZ Karlsruhe's Zentralblatt für Mathematik (Zbl), is a scheme for classifying publications in mathematics. While it is widely used, its traditional, idiosyncratic conceptualization and representation did not encourage wide reuse on the Web, and it made the scheme hard to maintain. We have reimplemented its current version MSC2010 as a Linked Open Dataset using SKOS, and our focus is concentrated on turning it into the new MSC authority. This paper explains the motivation and details of our design considerations and how we realized them in the implementation, presents use cases, and future applications.
Abstract. Content analysis of scientific publications is a nontrivial task, but a useful and important one for scientific information services. In the Gutenberg era it was a domain of human experts; in the digital age many machine-based methods, e.g., graph analysis tools and machine-learning techniques, have been developed for it. Natural Language Processing (NLP) is a powerful machinelearning approach to semiautomatic speech and language processing, which is also applicable to mathematics. The well established methods of NLP have to be adjusted for the special needs of mathematics, in particular for handling mathematical formulae. We demonstrate a mathematics-aware part of speech tagger and give a short overview about our adaptation of NLP methods for mathematical publications. We show the use of the tools developed for key phrase extraction and classification in the database zbMATH.
Abstract. An information service for mathematical software is presented. Publications and software are two closely connected facets of mathematical knowledge. This relation can be used to identify mathematical software and find relevant information about it. The approach and the state of the art of the information service are described here.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
