Digital Mathematics Library : A Vision for the Future

Abstract

The General Assembly of the International Mathematical Union endorses a recommendation of the IMU Committee on Electronic Information and Communication (CEIC) describing its vision of a distributed collection of past mathematical scholarship that will serve the needs of all science, and encourages mathematicians and publishers of mathematics to join together in implementing this vision. The Digital Mathematics Library should include a substantial part of the past literature, and, most importantly, its components should be connected, both to each other and to the current literature. The ultimate goal is to create an enduring network of digital literature, most of which can be seamlessly traversed by all scientists engaged in mathematical research and scholarship.
