During its first 4 year term, the CEIC is specifically asked to address
the coordination of world-wide efforts to establish web-based servers for
- mathematical papers,
- preprints,
- journals and
- books.
This includes issues of uniformizing
- metadata,
- document identifiers and
- supported formats,
promoting
- mirroring and
- the development of search engines for mathematical material and
- coordination of existing servers.
It should publish its findings with the goal of making
- the use of these servers universally understood and
- usable by the whole mathematical community.
It is also asked to consider tranferring the World Directory of Mathematicians to an electronic freely accessible form.
