WorldWideScience.org The Global Science Gateway

1. WorldWideScience.orgThe Global Science Gateway Walter L. Warnick, Ph.D. Director United States Department of Energy Office of Scientific & Technical Information (Operating Agent for WorldWideScience.org) Washington, D.C., United States

2. Science Progresses asKnowledge is Shared If the sharing of knowledge is accelerated, discovery is accelerated Profound implications for all of us in the information business!

3. Research Discovery Facilities Information High Performance Computing Scientists A Key Piece of Science Discovery Information feeds discovery

4. The Spread of KnowledgeCan Be Measured & Modeled The Spread of Knowledge about Feynman Diagrams Discovery path of US and UK authors From: The Power of a Good Idea: quantitative modeling of the spread of ideas from epidemiological models, Luis M. A. Bettencourt, Ariel Cintron-Arias, Carlos Castillo-Chavez; David Kaiser, May 2005

5. The Spread of KnowledgeCan Be Accelerated Knowledge is contagious. Increasing the contact rate means researchers “catch” an idea faster.

6. International partnership kicks off global science gateway In January 2007, Dr. Raymond Orbach, DOE Under Secretary for Science, and Lynne Brindley, Chief Executive of the British Library signed a Statement of Intent to partner in the development of a searchable global science gateway.

7. WorldWideScience.org was launched in June 2007 Now searches over 40 portals from more than 50 countries

8. A federation of the leading science portals sponsored by the governments and national institutions of over 50 countries • A quantity of science (more than 200 million pages from every inhabited continent) • A breakthrough in content enabled by breakthrough technology

9. WorldWideScience.org & Federated Search Technology Many popular search engines rely on crawler based technology

10. Surface Web Deep Web databases Federated search drills down to the deep Web where scientific databases reside Federated search systems Probe the Deep Web
