mathematics encyclopedia . The emphasis is onpeer review , rigour, openness,pedagogy , real-time content, interlinked content, andcommunity . [http://planetmath.org/?op=about PlanetMath: ] ] Intended to be comprehensive, the project is located at the Digital Library Research Lab atVirginia Tech . [ [http://planetmath.org/?op=getobj&from=collab&id=36#mathworld PlanetMath: New User Guide ] ]PlanetMath was started when the popular free online mathematics encyclopedia
MathWorld was taken offline for 12 months by a court injunction as a result of theCRC Press lawsuit against theWolfram Research company and its employee (and MathWorld's author)Eric Weisstein .PlanetMath content is licensed under the ‘
copyleft ’GNU Free Documentation License . [ [http://planetmath.org/?op=license PlanetMath: ] ] An author who starts a new article becomes the copyright holder of that article; he or she may then choose to grant editing rights to other individuals or groups. All content is written inLaTeX , a typesetting system popular amongmathematician s because of its support of the technical needs of mathematical typesetting and its high-quality output. The user can explicitly create links to other articles, and the system also automatically turns certain words into links to the defining articles. The topic area of every article is classified by theMathematics Subject Classification (MSC) of theAmerican Mathematical Society (AMS).Users may attach
addenda ,errata and discussions to articles. A system for private messaging among users is also in place.The software running PlanetMath is written in
Perl and runs onLinux and the web server Apache. It is known asNoösphere and has been released under the freeBSD License .ee also
