Mathematical Knowledge Management

TheInternationalConferenceonMathematicalKnowledgeManagementhasnow reached its third edition, creating and establishing an original and stimulating scienti?ccommunitytransversaltomanydi?erent?eldsandresearchtopics. The broad goal of MKM is the exploration of innovative, semantically enriched, d- ital encodings of mathematical information, and the study of new services and tools exploiting the machine-understandable nature of the information. MKM is naturally located in the border area between digital libraries and the mec- nization of mathematics, devoting a particular interest to the new developments in information technology, and fostering their application to the realm of ma- ematical information. The conference is meant to be a forum for presenting, discussing and comparing new tools and systems, standardization e?orts, cri- calsurveys,largeexperiments,andcasestudies. Atpresent,wearestillgettingto knoweachother,tounderstandtheworkdonebyotherpeople,andthepotenti- ities o?ered by their work to our own research activity. However, the conference is rapidly acquiring scienti?c strength and academic interest, attracting more and more people and research groups, and o?ering a challenging alternative to older, more conservative conferences.
