EMANI - A Project for the Long-Term Preservation of Electronic Publications in Mathematics

With the rapidly growing activities in electronic publishing ideas came up to install global repositories, which deal with three mainstreams in this enterprise: storing the electronic material currently available, pursuing projects to solve the long-term archiving problem for this material with the ambition to preserve the content in readable form for future generations, and to capture the printed literature in digital versions providing good access and search facilities for the readers. Long-term availability of published research articles in mathematics and easy access to them is a strong need for researchers working with mathematics. Hence in this domain some pioneering projects have been established trying to tackle the above-mentioned problems.
