Math-Net, a model for information and communication systems in sciences

Abstract

A homepage is the Web entry point and a signpost to a Web site (other common terms therefore are "portals" or "sitemaps"). Web sites of (mathematical) departments consist of collections of interrelated information of the institution. A clear and intuitive structure of the homepage is essential for a user-friendly navigation and search. In fact, however, the structure of department homepages differ essentially. Taking this into account the MathNet Page for departments, in the following context called Math-Net Page, is a concept for a standardized "secondary" homepage of a mathematical institution.
