Short Technical Break

18:00--19:00 Panel/round table discussion: 
Towards Digital Mathematics Library [Room 1] 
Panelists: 
sir John Ball, CEIC chair, expresident of IMU
Thierry Bouche (NUMDAM and CEDRAM), 
Žarko Mijajlović (Serbian DML), 
Masakazu Suzuki (Japanese digitization projects), 
Jiří Rákosník (DML-CZ), 
Petr Sojka (DML-CZ), 
Enrique Macias-Virgos (Spanish DML)
Wolfram Sperber (Zentralblatt MATH, instead of Bernd Wegner), 
Katarzyna Zamlynska  (Polish Virtual Library of Mathematics).
Topics:
1) What technologies, standards, algorithms and formats should be
   used and what metadata should be shared?
2) What business models are suitable for publishers of mathematical
   literature, authors and funders of their projects and institutions?
3) Is there a model of sustainable, interoperable, and extensible
   mathematical library that mathematicians can use in their everyday
   work?
4) What is the best practice for
   a) retrodigitized mathematics (from images via OCR to MathML and/or TeX);
   b) retro-born-digital mathematics (from existing electronic copy in
      DVI, PS or PDF to MathML and/or TeX);
   c) born-digital mathematics (how to make needed metadata and file formats
      available as a side effect of publishing workflow [CEDRAM model])?
