Leibniz MMS Days 2019 - Abstract
Kühnemund, Andreas
Publications help to record scientific theories. In the past, mathematicians answered questions in the form of lemmata and theorems. Nowadays, mathematical modelling and simulation is an important tool in many branches of science and can play a key role to understand a problem. Thus, publications today provide more: mathematical models, computational methods, software, data collections etc. Up to now, scientific databases like zbMATH and swMATH mainly index publications. Having good methods for their content analysis and semantic enrichment is indispensable for making scientific output findable. swMATH, e.g. extracts information on specific software from publications by heuristic means, gives a descrition and answers important questions: Who uses it for which problems? Is there similar software? In the talk, we ask which facets databases like zbMATH should have in future to be an effective support for MMS problems.
