MaRDI Packaging System Tool/Application (beta version) ## MaRDI Packaging System: Simplifying Software Packaging\N\NMaPS, short for MaRDI Packaging System is the working name for the software system created by TA1 Computer Algebra for Measure 1.4 Predefined software environments. MaPS provides a unified interface both, to package a software inside a functional environment (called a runtime), and to install a published runtime onto a computer system in a user friendly way. A publication describing this tool can be found at https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-031-64529-7_26 .\N\N### How does it work?\N\NMaPS deploys packages including their complete library dependencies in an environment which does not conflict with other packages installed on your computer. Deploying runtimes is a one line command. Packaging a runtime is only a small overhead.\N\NMore information is available at the [MaPS wiki](https://github.com/mardi4nfdi/maps/wiki).

MaRDI Knowledge Graph Database (stable version) ## The MaRDI Knowledge Graph: A New Way to Explore Mathematical Research \N \NServing the global mathematical community, the MaRDI Knowledge Graph is a growing resource that brings together over 5 million items and 500 million relationships from various open mathematical research data sources. It integrates information from repositories such as DLMF, CRAN, PolyDB, swMATH, zbMATH Open, arXiv, and OpenML, creating connections between datasets, publications, software, and mathematical concepts. \N \N### What does it do? \NThe MaRDI Knowledge Graph helps organize and link mathematical research data, offering structured insights into how different resources relate to one another. It enables researchers and students to navigate across datasets, software tools, and research papers, making it easier to explore connections different areas of mathematical research and applications. \N \N### How can it be used? \N* Discover related datasets, software, or research papers on a given mathematical topic using our [entry page](https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/wiki/Service:MaRDI_KG). \N* Explore links between mathematical models, equations, and computational methods. \N* Use structured queries via an API or the [MaRDI KG Query Service](https://query.portal.mardi4nfdi.de/) to retrieve specific information. \N \NThe MaRDI Knowledge Graph is still evolving, and its coverage is not yet complete. However, it provides a foundation for discovering mathematical research in a more connected way. As the graph grows, contributions and feedback from the community will help refine and expand its usefulness over time. Maintained by: TA5

MaRDMO Tool/Application (stable version) ## MaRDMO: Future Gateway to FAIR Mathematical Data \N \NMaRDMO is an extension of the Research Data Management Organiser ([RDMO](https://rdmorganiser.github.io/)) designed to facilitate the documentation, integration, and sharing of mathematical models, interdisciplinary workflows, and soon algorithms. As a user-friendly interface, it connects researchers with MaRDI services such as the [MaRDI](https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/wiki/Service:6503328), [MathModDB](https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/wiki/Service:6534274) and [MathAlgoDB](https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/wiki/Service:6534228) knowledge graphs, while also integrating external data sources like Wikidata. By streamlining research data management through guided interviews and encouraging the reuse of existing information, MaRDMO enhances transparency, reproducibility, and interoperability across disciplines. Researchers can document, search, and share mathematical research data seamlessly, ensuring broad accessibility and usability within the scientific community. \N \N### How to use it? \N \NThe [MaRDMO Plugin](https://github.com/MarcoReidelbach/MaRDMO-Plugin) and its corresponding [question catalog](https://github.com/MarcoReidelbach/MaRDMO-Questionnaire) are available on GitHub and can be integrated into any existing RDMO instance, whether local, project-specific, or institute-wide. In the near future, MaRDMO will be accessible to all researchers through MaRDI's RDMO instance, provided by the basic service [DMP4NFDI](https://base4nfdi.de/projects/dmp4nfdi). A test instance with limited functionality (no export to MaRDI services) is currently available [here](https://rdmo-test.mardi4nfdi.de/). \N \NTo document an interdisciplinary workflow or mathematical model—or to search for existing ones—users complete a guided interview in MaRDMO. Once all questions are answered, the documentation can be published to the relevant MaRDI service with a single click. If the search option is selected, MaRDMO suggests suitable interdisciplinary workflows based on the user's input. Maintained by: TA4

MaRDI Help Desk Outreach | Support/Consulting (stable version) The MaRDI Help Desk is your first entry point to MaRDI services, support, and training. Mathematical data consultant Christiane Görgen can help you find out how to handle your research data in practice, what to write in a funding application about it, or how to connect to existing infrastructure and projects. She currently prepares training material for these topics, knows the consortium inside out, and can direct very topic-specific inquiries to the appropriate experts. Dissemination coordinator Tabea Bacher supports the initiative's outreach, community integration, and workshop implementation. She can help with organizational matters, and she is busy building bridges between MaRDI and the library communities. Maintained by: TA6

MaRDI Open Interfaces Tool/Application (beta version) Software that connects different numerical packages together. Users can invoke numerical solvers written in one programming language from another one. Besides that, implementations for the same numerical problem are accessed via a generic interface to avoid code modifications when switching implementations. Maintained by: TA2
