Web Portal

A portal that is specialized for a scientific community has been built by the Math-Net project, an initiative for "setting up the technical and organizational infrastructure for efficient, inexpensive and user driven information services for mathematics" [Dalitz, Grötschel, & Lügger1997]. At http://www.math-net.de/ the portal for the (german) mathematics community is installed that makes distributed information from several mathematical departments available. The scope of offered information ranges from publications such as preprints and reports to information about research projects, organizations, faculty etc. All this data is accompanied by meta-data according to the Dublin Core (http://www.purl.org/dc) Standard [Weibel et al.1998] ...
