    OCR for historical literature is a really hard problem. Beyond the fact that OCR quality is pretty low, perception of the meaning of the papers isn't addressed by that. So it makes it easier to access (can read papers on the net rather than going to a library) but that's about it.

      > it makes it easier to access (can read papers on the net rather than going to a library) but that's about it. I disagree.

I wonder if starting with research papers that have lots of symbolic logic (e.g. math proofs) would be the easiest starting point for a system like this.
