Towards a Digital Mathematics Library: Next Steps

Panelists: 
Thierry Bouche (EuDML/EVLM/NUMDAM and CEDRAM, FR), 
John Burns (Ithaka/JSTOR, USA), 
Michael Doob (University of Manitoba, Canada), 
Patrick Ion (AMS, USA),
Robert Miner (Design Science, USA),
David Ruddy (Cornell University Library, USA),
Petr Sojka (DML-CZ, CZ), 
Masakazu Suzuki (Japanese digitization projects, JP) 

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/EUCLID model])?
5) What are the next steps towards common goal?
