Hello MathGroup, We recently received a note from Bob Mathews in Design Science requesting examples of mathematics documents. Since I thought this project might be of interest to other members of the group trying to solve the puzzles of MathML, I have obtained Bob's permission to post his request to the group. > Hi, > > (My apologies if some of you get more than one copy of this, but we're > trying to get the maximum possible dissemination.) > > We are working on a project to facilitate searching for mathematical > formulas and notations in scientific literature, the same way one can > now do full-text keyword searches. This is funded in part by a > National Science Foundation (NSF) grant awarded to Design Science > through the National Science Digital Library (NSDL) program. > > This involves, in part, building up a public test server, and we are > asking you for permission to put a couple of your documents on that > server. We can put whatever attribution you want on an "About this > project" page, and on the pages themselves. If you wouldn't mind > providing a couple of mathematical or scientific documents to help in > this project, we would greatly appreciate it. The documents can be in > any format -- Word, PDF, HTML, XHTML + MathML, XML, etc. -- but the > main thing we're interested in is to get documents that use MathML. > Word documents are ok because we can convert them to XHTML + MathML. I > don't know how many of your lessons or other documents are in Word > format, but I suspect many (if not most) of them are. > > Please e-mail the documents to me, and feel free to ask if you have > any questions about the project. > > Thanks for your help, > Bob Mathews email: bobm at dessci.com > Director of Training phone: 830-990-9699 > http://www.dessci.com/ > Design Science, Inc. -- "How Science Communicates" > MathType, WebEQ, MathPlayer, MathFlow, Equation Editor, TeXaide > ____________________________ John Browne School of Engineering and Science Swinburne University of Technology Hawthorn, Victoria, Australia
