and the most common relations between objects in these classes. These library services are exemplified by the following cross-disciplinary databases and portals: • WorldCat1 -- a union catalog that itemizes the collections of 72,000 libraries in 170 countries and territories that participate in the On line Computer Library Center (OCLC)

Larger, more loosely defined data structures and services use methods of massive data analysis (NRC, 2013) for search and discovery on the vastly larger scale of the World Wide Web.

index of non proprietary alphanumeric codes that uniquely identify academic authors with annual open data dumps. RESOURCES FOR THE MATHEMATICAL SCIENCES Specialized Mathematical Databases Specialized mathematical databases are examples of "bottom up" attempts by the mathematics community to create relatively open, accessible databases of mathematical facts.

• Multiple Zeta Value Data Mine19 -- These pages contain tables with multiple zeta values and Euler sums to allow people to look for relations, systematics, and patterns. They are expressed in terms of a basis.

Among these capabilities are the following: a facility to allow us ers to download LaTeX and MathML encodings of every formula into document processors and software packages; a search engine that allows users to locate formulas based on queries expressed in mathematical notation; and user-manipulatable three-dimensional color graphics. • Information on Enumerative Combinatorics 21 -- This website contains a number of supplements to the two-volume textbook Enumerative Combinatorics,22 including a Catalan Addendum, a 94-page PDF listing 204 combinatorial interpretations of the sequence of Catalan numbers.
