MaRDI TA5 Milestones Meeting 23.02.2024 @ ZIB

Goals of the meeting

• We have an idea about how to reach the official milestones
• Everybody is aware of the personal milestones
• Some (all) technical points are discussed / solved
• We have a plan about how to have better documentation

Agenda

1. Welcome
2. Mission clarification
   1. What IS our mission in TA5? Connect papers/software AND data-sets?

      --> Make it easy to access and find the data produced by MaRDI TAs 1-4

3. Milestone Planning
   1. What are our 2024 goals for MaRDI?

      --> Bring in content from TAs 1-4

   2. What are the official 2024 milestones?
   3. Who is doing what? (-> Personal Milestone Planning) PART1 - Presentations
4. Open (technical) topics (see below)
5. Documentation
   1. How to improve internal documentation? --> If possible, update the upstream documentation (e.g. MediaWiki) - and link it from our Wiki --> Use Rim as a test-person to check whether all needed information is documented on our Wiki
   2. How to improve documentation for external? --> Collect technical questions from other TAs and create documentation about it --> Start with a FAQ-like document (potentially link to more complex documentations from there)
6. Outreach (to other SFBs, Math+, Libraries, ...)
7. [If time permits] Who is doing what? (-> Personal Milestone Planning) PART2 - Refinement

(Technical) Topics to discuss

• How to define items?
  • Formulae
    • Which "instance of" to use?
    • Which properties to use?
  • Papers
    • Which "instance of" to use? ("scholary article"?)
    • Current way of selecting papers in SPARQL queries by "has zbMath ID"?
    • How to link to a paper, as in "This data-set / software was used in this paper" (Now: in software-item we use "is described in" and in )
    • How to link from a paper, as in "cites software"? / "uses dataset"?
  • Datasets
    • Which "instance of" to use?
    • Which properties to use?
    • How to link to a paper, as in "was used in paper"? (Is this necessary?)
  • Software items (How can we query all of them - "instance of X" - what is X?)
    • Which "instance of" to use?
    • "instance of software" is violating the WikiData hierarchy? (Software is quite high-level)
  • How to define profile types?
    • --> see Project:Profile types
• arXiv Importer [ELOI]
  • What is the plan?
    • Import of formulae (can we use an LLM to describe a particular formula? parameters etc.?)
    • Import of paper-meta-data? (->Disambiguation)
  • What is the status?
• LLMs for MaRDI portal [ELOI/MORITZ/LITESH]
  • What is the overall plan?
  • What is the status?
    • Chat-Bot (LLM to query the portal)
• How to integrate more of the cool Scholia stuff? (Simple example: number of citations of a paper, see e.g. https://scholia.portal.mardi4nfdi.de/work/Q25938997)
• Zenodo importer (for Math+ integration)
  • What is the plan?
• Workflows for periodic updates (for any source we have)
• zbMath MSC Keyword import? (We only have the IDs)
• Wikidata graph split
• Licensing
• Author disambiguation
• OKMaps
• environmental footprint
