Abstract

There are new roles for software in mathematical knowledge management (MKM). Three simple initial examples of MKM roles will be considered here. The first is software applied to the Mathematical Subject Classification (MSC). The second example is MathML (Mathematics Markup Language), a standard from the W3C, now in its third edition, and hoping to become an ISO standard. The third example of software in the service of mathematical knowledge is the use of programs to analyze the nature of our subject as represented by its literature seen as a network. How these tools have already been deployed makes clear that mathematical knowledge management, even in its primitive present form, can aid further development of mathematics. These examples above are just starting points.
