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?
      1. --> If possible, update the upstream documentation (e.g. MediaWiki) - and link it from our Wiki
      2. --> Use Rim as a test-person to check whether all needed information is documented on our Wiki
   2. How to improve documentation for external?
      1. --> Collect technical questions from other TAs and create documentation about it
      2. --> Start with a FAQ-like document (potentially link to more complex documentations from there)
6. Outreach (to other SFBs, Math+, Libraries, ...)
   1. --> Connect better with: Math+, LifeDocs (Christoph Lehrenfeld), TU Darmstadt Library (Jens Freund)

(Technical) Topics to discuss

• How to define items? --> Create a property ("mardi-profile") for each item that can be used to identify an item's type (software, formula, publication, ...)
  • How to define profile types?
    • --> see Project:Profile types
  • Formulae
    • Which properties to use?
      • --> Same as DLMF
  • Papers
    • Current way of selecting papers in SPARQL queries by "has zbMath ID"? --> solved through the new "mardi-profile" property
    • How to link from a paper, as in "cites software"? / "uses dataset"?
      • --> use https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P4510 to link software to a publication if this software was used in the publication
      • --> info available in swMath
    • 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 )
      • --> use the reverse 4510
  • Datasets
    • Which properties to use?
      • --> Larissa made a first draft; compatibility should be checked with Zenodo items; then implement it
    • How to link to a paper, as in "was used in paper"? (Is this necessary?)
      • --> as before for software
  • Software items (How can we query all of them - "instance of X" - what is X?)
    • "instance of software" is violating the WikiData hierarchy? (Software is quite high-level)
      • --> Solved by using the new "mardi-profile" property
• arXiv Importer
  • What is the plan?
    • --> Use zbMath data about arXiv paper meta-data (blocker: API is not yet giving out that information)
    • Import of formulae (can we use an LLM to describe a particular formula? parameters etc.?)
      • --> Do this on a small sub-set of arXiv papers to showcase the idea
    • Import of paper-meta-data? (->Disambiguation)
      • Use zbMath data
  • Next steps?
    • --> Take 2..10 arXiv papers, extract formulas, add to MaRDI KG, try Moritz's formula search service
    • --> Discuss results and see whether this is useful at all
• LLMs for MaRDI portal
  • 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)
  • --> Define what "cool" Scholia stuff is
  • --> For the citation example: Use available services such as OpenCitations.net to get needed meta-data
• Zenodo importer (for Math+ integration)
  • What is the plan?
    • Set-up workflow to harvest the Math+ Zenodo Community items
• Workflows for periodic updates (for any source we have)
  • --> Use the Zenodo example as demontrator
• zbMath MSC Keyword import? (We only have the IDs)
  • --> Put the ID<->Keyword relatins in SQL database to avoid license issues
• Wikidata graph split
  • --> If this happens, Scholia might become disfunctional on many of the queries
• Licensing
  • Put a "general" this is our licensing strategy page on our Wiki
• Author disambiguation
• OKMaps
• environmental footprint
