The Mizar Mathematical Library (MML) is a large corpus of formalised mathematical knowledge. It has been constructed over the course of many years by a large number of authors and maintainers. Yet the legal status of these efforts of the Mizar community has never been clarified. In 2010, after many years of loose deliberations, the community decided to investigate the issue of licensing the content of the MML, thereby clarifying and crystallizing the status of the texts, the text's authors, and the library's long-term maintainers. The community has settled on a copyright and license policy that suits the peculiar features of Mizar and its community. In this paper we discuss the copyright and license solutions. We offer our experience in the hopes that the communities of other libraries of formalised mathematical knowledge might take up the legal and scientific problems that we addressed for Mizar.
Abstract. Two methods for extracting detailed formal dependencies from the Coq and Mizar system are presented and compared. The methods are used for dependency extraction from two large mathematical repositories: the Coq Repository at Nijmegen and the Mizar Mathematical Library. Several applications of the detailed dependency analysis are described and proposed. Motivated by the different applications, we discuss the various kinds of dependencies that we are interested in, and the suitability of various dependency extraction methods.
We report the results of the first experiments with learning proof dependencies from the formalizations done with the Coq system. We explain the process of obtaining the dependencies from the Coq proofs, the characterization of formulas that is used for the learning, and the evaluation method. Various machine learning methods are compared on a dataset of 5021 toplevel Coq proofs coming from the CoRN repository. The best resulting method covers on average 75% of the needed proof dependencies among the first 100 predictions, which is a comparable performance of such initial experiments on other large-theory corpora.
