LIMES Large Infrastructure in Mathematics - Enhanced Services ELECTRONIC MEDIA IN MATHEMATICS Coimbra, September 13-15, 2001 Enrique Macias-Virgós USC

The LIMES Project H Financed by: European Commission, Fifth Framework Programme, 1.7 millions Euro H Scheduled Dates: April March 2004 H Objective: to upgrade the existing database Zentralblatt-MATH into a European based world class database for mathematics (pure and applied)

LIMES partners H European Mathematical Society (EMS) H Zentralblatt MATH / FIZ Karlsruhe (Germany) HTechnical University of Berlin (Germany) HMathDocCell, Grenoble (France) HEidetica BV (Netherlands) HSIBA Coordination, Univ. of Lecce (Italy) HDTV Technical Knowledge Centre & Library (Denmark) HHMS Hellenic mathematical Society (Greece) H Univ. of Santiago de Compostela (Spain) & RSME

Main goals of LIMES H to transform Zentralblatt MATH into the reference database for all researchers in Mathematics and affine areas H to improve and widen worldwide access to Zentralblatt, specially to European countries, EasternEurope and Latin America. H to improve coverage and evaluation of research literature via nationally distributed editorial units

Zentralblatt MATH H Printed journal (from 1931) H on-line (from 1978) H CD-ROM (from 1984) ) H internet access from EMIS (The European Mathematical Information Service) server and international mirrors:

HBerlin (Germany), Strasbourg, (France), New York (USA), Lecce (Italy), Rehovot (Israel), Mexico D.F. (Mexico), Berkeley (USA), IMPA(Brazil), Cornell (USA), Athens (Greece), Alberta (Canada) HCESGA Santiago de Compostela (Spain):

Zentralblatt MATH contents H Total number of documents: > H Annual rate: H Subjects: Pure and applied Maths, Theoretical physics, informatics and mechanics, Operations Research, Bio-mathematics, and so on H Covered journals: appr. 1500

Zentralblatt MATH database some search criteria H authors H title H MSC 2000 classification H keywords H journal H publication year

Zentralblatt MATH H Complete information about mathematical publications H Precise bibliographical data H Independent reviews written by experts H Links to electronic math services HEasy user interface and powerful search software HPrinting facilities: dvi, pdf, postscript, tex

LIMES tasks H Improvement of content (data sets) and retrieval facilities (software) H Broader and improved access to the database via national access nodes and new data distribution methods. HImprovement of access for isolated universities  Improved coverage and evaluation of research literature via nationally distributed editorial

LIMES H Spain: USC in collaboration with Real Sociedad Matemática Española (RSME) and Centro de Supercomputación de Galicia (CESGA)

LIMES la contribución Española al proyecto  propagar, bajo los auspicios de la RSME, el uso de la base de datos H facilitar el acceso a MATH H instalar y mantener un espejo de MATH H conectar MATH con otras ofertas para matemáticos en España H organizar concorcios de usarios para suscribir a precios reducidos

LIMES acciones iniciales para la parte española H instalación de espejos de MATH y MATHDI H instalación del acceso libre para los clientes españoles a MATH y MATHDI H registrar las direcciones IP de los departamentos de matemáticas H compilar listas de usarios potenciales para ambos servicios. H extensión del acceso libre para los clientes adicionales H compilar información sobre otras ofertas electrónicas en matemática en España
