Such information helps potential software developers and users make informed choices about packages that could advance their work in modeling, simulation, and analysis. At the same time, software presents novel challenges to information services that require the development of new methods and means of processing. swMATH provides users with an overview of a broad range of mathematical software and extends documentation services for publications related to such software. It acts as a counterpart to the established abstracting and reviewing services for mathematical publications and has nearly 30,000 entries, making it one of the most comprehensive documentation services in mathematics.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{DalitzChrapary, author = {Dalitz, Wolfgang and Chrapary, Hagen}, title = {Software Products, Software Versions, Archiving of Software, and swMATH}, series = {Mathematical Software - ICMS 2018}, booktitle = {Mathematical Software - ICMS 2018}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-319-96418-8_15}, pages = {123 -- 127}, abstract = {Management of software information is difficult for various reasons. First, software typically cannot be reduced to a single object: information about software is an aggregate of software code, APIs, documentation, installations guides, tutorials, user interfaces, test data, dependencies on hardware and other software, etc. Moreover, secondary information about software, especially use cases and experience with employing the software, is important to communicate. Second, typically named software, which we term here a `software product', is taken to stand for all versions of the software which can have different features and properties and may produced different results from the same input data. Software production is a dynamic process and software development is, increasingly, widely distributed. Therefore GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket and other platforms for sharing are used. Information about software is alos provided in different locations, on websites, repositories, portals, etc. Each resource provides information about software from a particular point of view, but the information is often not linked together. Therefore swMATH has developed a conception which covers portals and a search engines for mathematical software, persistent and citable landing pages for specific software, and a method for software archiving. Based on the publication-based approach, swMATH collects and analyses semi-automatically the existing information about mathematical software found on the Web and makes it available in a user-oriented way.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{DalitzChraparySperber, author = {Dalitz, Wolfgang and Chrapary, Hagen and Sperber, Wolfram}, title = {Software Knowledge Management and swMATH}, series = {Fachgruppe Didaktik der Mathematik der Universit{\"a}t Paderborn}, booktitle = {Fachgruppe Didaktik der Mathematik der Universit{\"a}t Paderborn}, doi = {10.17877/DE290R-19281}, pages = {401 -- 404}, abstract = {Mathematische Software ist heute ein weitverbreitetes Werkzeug in der Forschung, aber auch in der mathematischen Bildung.

The emphasis is put on information about publications, software and data collections, teaching and research activities, but also on organizational and bibliographical information. Decentral organization structures, distributed search systems as well as the use of meta-information (metadata) in accordance with the Dublin Core (hopefully) guarantee a longterm, high-quality repository of data.

Based on the current Fachinformationsprojekt (Specialized Information Project) run by the Deutsche Mathematiker-Vereinigung (DMV) and supported by the Federal Minister for Research and Technology (BMFT), the DMV is planning a new infrastructure activity for mathematics. This activity will not only include mathematical university departments and research institutes, but also partners from mathematical research laboratories in industry as well as suppliers of mathematical information, in particular, scientific publishing houses, the Technical Information Library (TIB) Hannover, university libraries and -- last but not least -- the Fachinformationszentrum (FIZ) Karlsruhe with the Zentralblatt f{\"u}r Mathematik. \noindent On the technical basis of the Internet and its worldwide information services (Gopher, WAIS, World Wide Web, Hyper-G, ftp and e-mail), a distributed mathematical information system is to be created, whose partners make their local resources available both to other partners and to the worldwide Internet community. These aims can be achieved by means of the consequent use of software that is structured according to the client-server model and distributed and accepted within the Internet. \noindent Providing the technical equipment, however, is by far not enough. Without the creation of a personal, technical and organizational infrastructure, realization of such a project will not be possible.
