Statistical Theory and Method Abstracts (STMA) is now available as a component of Zentralblatt MATH, referred to as STMA-Z. Zentralblatt MATH is the one of the world’s most complete and longest running abstracting and reviewing services in pure and applied mathematics, containing more than 2 million entries drawn from more than 2,300 serials and journals, covering the period from 1868 to the present. STMA-Z contains all entries of ZMATH pertaining to statistics. Former entries of STMA are included to avoid duplication. Entries of Zentralblatt are classified since 1972 according to the Mathematics Subject Classification Scheme. STMA-Z will provide subscribers with specific access to statistical references and related fields.
Topicmaps.Org is an independent consortium of parties interested in developing the applicability of the Topic Maps Paradigm[1] to the World Wide Web, by leveraging the XML family of specifications as required.
This work includes the development of version 1.0 of an XML grammar for interchanging Web-based Topic Maps, called XML Topic Maps (XTM) Version 1.0, written by the Topicmaps.Org Authoring Group. All versions of the XTM Specification will be permanently licensed to the public.
What Topic Maps Do
When XML is introduced into an organization it is usually used for one of two purposes: either to structure the organization's documents or to make that organization's applications talk to other applications. These are both useful ways of using XML, but they will not help anyone find the information they are looking for. What changes with the introduction of XML is that the document processes become more controllable and can be automated to a greater degree than before, while applications can now communicate internally and externally. But the big picture, something that collects the key concepts in the organization's information and ties it all together, is nowhere to be found.
