MediaWiki Math Search Extension: Semantic Formula Discovery Across Wikis
The MediaWiki Math Search Extension enables semantic formula search across mathematical wikis, improving the discoverability of mathematical knowledge expressed in TeX or MathML. Developed and maintained by the MaRDI Portal team, it connects wiki-based formulae with the MaRDI Knowledge Graph to foster structured access to mathematical content.
What does it do?
The extension indexes mathematical expressions semantically, allowing users to search for equivalent or related formulas based on structure rather than plain text. It bridges formula-level content in MediaWiki installations with the semantic relationships captured in the MaRDI Knowledge Graph.
How can it be used?
- Search for mathematical expressions in supported wikis using semantic queries.
- Retrieve related formulas, definitions, or references directly connected to the MaRDI Knowledge Graph.
- Integrate the extension into your own MediaWiki installation to enable formula-level search.
The extension is already used by several mathematical wikis and continues to evolve, expanding the reach of semantic mathematics on the web.
