Abstract

Scientific publications are still the most important medium for publishing mathematical research results. They serve as a container for different types of mathematical research data, especially mathematical models, theories, theorems, conjectures, proofs, algorithms, etc. They also link to mathematical software and simulations which has became more and more important for mathematics and applications. Therefore it seems to be natural to use publications for a more sophisticated analysis of mathematical research data, especially software. Mathematical publications are well-structured and use a more or less standard terminology for content, e.g., theorems, proofs, etc, and the formal structure. Nevertheless, publications could be used as a starting point to develop information services for mathematical research data. In the talk, the publication-based approach for mathematical software and a possible extension to mathematical models are discussed.
