  1. Some considerations for future developments for the INIS and ETDE database

  2. INIS and ETDE Data Base Developments • Immediate • Enhance access to full text • Improve coverage and in particular conference coverage, determine priorities • Improve indexing quality (organise member cooperation for the CAI system) • Improve the display format for Journal articles and offer an export format from the Internet interface with all possible fields (in text format) in order to facilitate integration of references in other systems • Long-term developments • Not discussed

  3. Enhance access to full text • For NCL various cases are encountered: • the document is in the INIS repertory and accessible for all via the pdf icone – very appreciated by the users • the document is in the INIS repertory but not accessible for all via the pdf icone, only internally for the IAEA, it is though accessible for all on the Internet in some institutional repository – could be treated differently, with another link for instance • the document is in the IAEA repertory and accessible for all but not via the pdf icone – could also be treated with another link • the document is in some other institutional repository - could also be treated with a link

  4. Example

  5. The case of Journal Literature

  6. Considerations: how to achieve easier access to full text for the user • Simplify the access for the user; all cases of NCL should be treated in a way that provides an icon for the link, transparent for the user. • For conventional literature, continue to add elements like the DOI which allow access to journal literature and try to present them in a homogeneous way, best in form of links; for this verify cataloguing rules, changes could be beneficial. • Study the possibility of a treatment for the DOI elements or provide a corresponding functionality with the input tool. • Provide the possibility to institutions which have electronic subscriptions to link directly to journal full text with the aid of tools like Open URL/ Link resolvers,… (http://www.dlib.org/dlib/march01/vandesompel/03vandesompel.html).

  7. Example of use of a Linkresolver with the ISI WOK database at the CEA

  8. Improve coverage and in particular conference coverage, determine priorities • Journal Literature • Comparison of an author search in INIS and ISI-WOK – between 1993 to the present there are 4 items in INIS and 10 in the ISI-WOK database

  9. Coverage of Conference Literature • Conference literature informs often about ongoing research and contains quite a few contributions from industry, who is not much publishing elsewhere; it is a very valuable part of information. It is difficult to find because editing organisations change, they can be published in journals (sometimes only partially), books or as NCL - sometimes on Internet only and in this case acces is often not perennial. • Enquiry of some of our senior executive officers about conferences they judged as important yielded the following tables

  10. List of some international conferences mentioned as important by our users

  11. List of some international conferences mentioned as important by our users - suite

  12. Some examples of INIS coverage (approximate) - ICONE

  13. Some examples of INIS coverage (approximate) - ICAPP

  14. Some examples of INIS coverage (approximate) - GLOBAL

  15. Improvement of coverage • Considerations: • Establish a list of missing core journals and try to treat them, perhaps with the help of members ready to prepare voluntary input • Establish a list of core conferences and try to treat them systematically with the help of members ready to prepare voluntary input

  16. Improve Indexing Quality  • Example : Search for laser isotope separation

  17. Improve Indexing Quality • Often observed: over-indexing (minor aspects of the treated topic), sometimes main concepts lacking • Specifically with the CAI: system: lack of recognition of specific multi-term descriptors and the context of terms. • Consequences : diminished relevance • Considerations for the CAI system: • Rules which would permit to select more relevant words for indexing, (multiple occurrence of a term in TI or AB text, …. • Participation of members to propose synonyms

  18. Improve display and export formats Example – Journal articles on SP CD-ROM

  19. Improve display and export formats Example – Journal articles on IAEA Internet

  20. Improve display and export formats Example – Journal articles on ETDEWEB

  21. Improve display and export formats Considerations: • Display formats - the source field should permit the user to find the piece of literature easily – journal name and report number are the most important elements for those publications and should figure first. • A tagged txt format with as much granularity as possible would be of great use for reuse of INIS data in specific in-house databases
