The NUMDAM digital archive: What?
and the electronic
publishing of
mathematics
•MathDoc team
•NUMDAM
•GALLICA
•CEDRAM
•MiniDML
ƒ Digitise for archiving and delivery the backrun of
ƒ
academic mathematical journals
Archiving :
y Integral scanning from the first page up to the last one
of each volume, including covers, plates, unbound
leafs, ads, etc.
ƒ Delivery :
y One multipage file per article, access through tables of
contents browsing or searching, freely downloadable
after a variable moving wall.

The NUMDAM digital archive: Why ?

publishing of
mathematics
ƒ Mathematical litterature never becomes obsolete.
ƒ Useful to other sciences in an asynchronous

fashion.
Valid as a whole: → network of (international)
references.
Isolated academic journals starve against
commercial concentration.
Digital format → living journals (links…)

The NUMDAM digital archive: economic
model
ƒ Electronic version under the title owner’s control.
ƒ Authors are asked to give their (exclusive) electronic

ƒ
ƒ
copyright to them if still alive
MathDoc contracts with the copyright owner to allow
access at www.numdam.org.
Clear identification of the originating journal (logo, links,
first page).
Moving wall agreed by both parties (mean: 5, min: 0, max:
10); free access after the moving wall as a counterpart to
public funding.

The NUMDAM digital archive: principles
and the electronic
publishing of
mathematics
•MathDoc team
•NUMDAM
•GALLICA
•CEDRAM
•MiniDML
ƒ Integrity
y Full backrun, no editorial choice.
y Scan of every page at high resolution (600 dpi) black & white
(text), grey or colour when applicable.
y Page format reproduced.
y Unicode metadata.
y Clean separation between faithful articles’ image and added
metadata (PDF/DjVu article vs. HTML navigation).
ƒ Interactivity
y Detailed structured metadata: basic bibliographical data plus
full text and cited references.
y A hyperlink network places the article in proper context:
bibliographies, reviews, errata, etc.

The mini-DML project: all this and lots
more…
ƒ The name: DML : Digital Math Library Mini : not
everything available yet
y No ambition to contend with reviewing services
•MathDoc team
•NUMDAM
•GALLICA
•CEDRAM
•MiniDML
ƒ The aim: Unified indexation of articles available in digital
ƒ
format, taking advantage of XML/OAIPMH technology
Special emphasis on :
y long run journals, sometimes not available in review databases
y digitally avaliable texts seldom explicitly referenced (reprints,
collected works, preprints, current issues)
ƒ Metadata from: home-grown catalogues (NUMDAM,
ElPub conference,

Gallica) OAI servers (Euclid, arXiv,… ), less structured
sources (HTML tables of contents, OCRed tables of
contents, ...)
