Zusammenfassung
Mathematical knowledge is a central component in science,
engineering, and technology (documentation). Most of it is
represented informally, and - in contrast to published research
mathematics - subject to continual change. Unfortunately, machine
support for change management has either been very coarse grained
and thus barely useful, or restricted to formal languages, where
automation is possible.
In this paper, we report on an effort to extend change management to
collections of semi-formal documents which flexibly intermix
mathematical formulas and natural language and to integrate it into
a semantic publishing system for mathematical knowledge. We validate
the long-standing assumption that the semantic annotations in these
flexiformal documents that drive the machine-supported interaction
with documents can support semantic impact analyses at the same
time. But in contrast to the fully formal setting, where adaptations
of impacted documents can be automated to some degree, the
flexiformal setting requires much more user interaction and thus a
much tighter integration into document management workflows.
