Summary:
We report on a new project to design a semantic ground truth set for mathematical document analysis. The ground truth set will be generated by annotating recognised mathematical symbols with respect to both their global meaning in the context of the considered documents and their local function within the particular mathematical formula they occur. The aim of our work is to have a reliable database available for semantic classification during the formula recognition process with the aim of enabling correct interpretations of mathematical formulae and generating semantic markup such as Content MathML.
