  1. DOE’s STI Program and Products CENDI MeetingMay 5, 2010 Sharon Jordan Assistant Director for Program Integration

  2. Focus of DOE’s STI Program Priority #1: “The Secretary, through the Office of Scientific and Technical Information, shall maintain within the Department publicly available collections of scientific and technical information resulting from research, development, demonstration, and commercial applications activities supported by the Department.” • Create a centrally managed, authoritative collection of DOE STI for long-term use and access Priority #2: • Ensure worldwide scientific knowledge and discoveries are accessible to DOE researchers, thus accelerating the advancement of science

  3. DOE’s Scientific Disciplines From A to Z (well, W) ADVANCED PROPULSION SYSTEMS APPLIED LIFE SCIENCES ASTRONOMY AND ASTROPHYSICS ATOMIC AND MOLECULAR PHYSICS BASIC BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES BIOMASS FUELS CLASSICAL AND QUANTUM MECHANICS, GENERAL PHYSICS COAL, LIGNITE, AND PEAT CONDENSED MATTER PHYSICS, SUPERCONDUCTIVITY AND SUPERFLUIDITY DIRECT ENERGY CONVERSION EFFECTS OF RADIATION AND OTHER POLLUTANTS ON BIOLOGICAL MATERIALS AND ORGANISMS ENERGY CONSERVATION, CONSUMPTION, AND UTILIZATION ENERGY PLANNING, POLICY, AND ECONOMY ENERGY STORAGE ENGINEERING ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES FOSSIL-FUELED POWER PLANTS GENERAL STUDIES OF NUCLEAR REACTORS GEOSCIENCES GEOTHERMAL ENERGY HYDRO ENERGY HYDROGEN INORGANIC, ORGANIC, PHYSICAL, AND ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY INSTRUMENTATION RELATED TO NUCLEAR SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY ISOTOPE AND RADIATION SOURCES MANAGEMENT OF RADIOACTIVE WASTES, AND NON-RADIOACTIVE WASTES FROM NUCLEAR FACILITIES MATERIALS SCIENCE MATHEMATICS AND COMPUTING MILITARY TECHNOLOGY, WEAPONRY, AND NATIONAL DEFENSE NANOSCIENCE AND NANOTECHNOLOGY NATURAL GAS NUCLEAR DISARMAMENT, SAFEGUARDS, AND PHYSICAL PROTECTION NUCLEAR FUEL CYCLE AND FUEL MATERIALS NUCLEAR PHYSICS AND RADIATION PHYSICS OIL SHALES AND TAR SANDS OTHER INSTRUMENTATION PARTICLE ACCELERATORS PETROLEUM PHYSICS OF ELEMENTARY PARTICLES AND FIELDS PLASMA PHYSICS AND FUSION TECHNOLOGY POWER TRANSMISSION AND DISTRIBUTION RADIATION CHEMISTRY, RADIOCHEMISTRY, AND NUCLEAR CHEMISTRY RADIATION PROTECTION AND DOSIMETRY RADIOLOGY AND NUCLEAR MEDICINE SOLAR ENERGY SPECIFIC NUCLEAR REACTORS AND ASSOCIATED PLANTS SYNTHETIC FUELS TIDAL AND WAVE POWER WIND ENERGY

  4. Ensuring Access to DOE R&D Results • OSTI coordinates with POCs across the complex • DOE R&D results are: • Collected from DOE offices, labs, and facilities, as well as university grantees; • Preserved for re-use; • Made accessible via multiple web outlets. • Interagency and international partnerships leverage access and use of DOE R&D results “The Secretary, through the Office of Scientific and Technical Information, shall maintain within the Department publicly available collections of scientific and technical information resulting from research, development, demonstration, and commercial applications activities supported by the Department.”

  5. Ensure Access to STI Protect CertainSTI Mission in Balance • STI Program Is Balancing… • Access to DOE's publicly releasable R&D findings • With appropriate safe-guards for unclassified but sensitive material as well as for classified weapons research documents. DOE’s STI is disseminated by OSTI per markings provided by submitting labs, facilities, and offices Markings address OUO, ECI, and more….. Including PPII

  6. STI “Directive” DOE Order 241.1A, Scientific and Technical Information Management, defines purpose, objectives, requirements and responsibilities • In official revision process • Addressing new forms of STI • Collaboration emphasized BUT • Distributed electronic infrastructure requires agreeing to “drive on right side of road”

  7. The DOE STI Program Is a Collaboration • STI representatives from labs & offices meet annually • Bimonthly teleconferences held • Working groups deal with special topics, e.g., “New Media WG” and “Legacy Digitization”

  8. Best Practices Defined Collaboratively • Website redesign in progress • Work of cross-cutting team • To be launched in late May or June www.osti.gov/stip

  9. E-Link Web-Based Reporting System • Documents the receipt, review and release from “input” to “output” products • Used by grantees to submit final reports and by awarding officials and programs to review reports • Offers reporting for sites’ use in managing their STI process • Used for tracking and statistics

  10. DOE STI Repository Legacy R&D Document Collection: • 1.2 MILLION full-text scientific documents, representing the cumulative scientific knowledge from DOE and predecessor agencies’ R&D efforts dating from the early 1940s. • Approx 15% of the collection has been digitized Since 2001, R&D documents are received in digital form from originators. Born digital documents = Over 197K

  11. 1940’s Atomic Energy Commission created Nuclear Science Abstracts began 1950’s Microfiche & Full-Text Docs to Depository Libraries Atoms-For-Peace Program 1960’s Computer Technology implemented International cooperations put in place (IAEA) 1970’s AEC became Energy Research and Development Administration Energy Database (EDB) began, broadened info scope ERDA became Dept of Energy Dept Directive DOE O 1340.1 includes technical reports 1980’s International Energy Technology Data Exchange (ETDE) Charter member of CENDI Database Structure DOE STI Directives created 1990’s Digitization of Report Literature Began Innovation of Multiple Internet Age Tools STIP Strategic Plan Adopted Dublin Core Electronic STI submissions 2000’s Electronic Transition completed Web Tools and Federated Searching expanded Increased STI Usage via Web Technology Innovations continue: relevance ranking, alerts, social media, etc. Serving the Nation… by Sharing Science www.osti.gov

  12. STI Access in the Information Age • Single Query Access • Tailored Product Functionalities • Customer Driven Services • Non-Text Media • Web 2.0 Capabilities

  13. New methods / focus Visual depictions Context-sensitive Content clusters Citation expansion • “More Like This” technology • WorldCat inclusion in bibliographic citation • Wikipedia Inclusion in bibliographic citation • OpenURL • Innovative development • Context Sensitive Word Clouds • Relevant Content “narrowing” clusters 13

  14. STI Products Today Information Bridge – R&D technical reports are full-text searchable, freely available online. Is primary set of R&D findings published as documents Now over 237,000 DOE technical documents fully searchable. Other tools uniquely address each type of STI and the manner in which they were published:

  15. Author and subject clusters Word Clouds www.osti.gov/bridge

  16. Additional Features for IB Select the document title, then start a discussion "See/Add Document Discussion“ OSTI obtains CrossRef DOI for DOE tech reports

  17. WorldCat for journal articles • Link to Open Access Journals • Hotlink to NTIS Availability • Availability OSTI as DE97007054To purchase this media from NTIS, click here • Hover over title on search results page: OSTI ID plus the abstract displays Energy Citations Database: citations from 40s to present (NSA and EDB included) www.osti.gov/energycitations

  18. Ensuring DOE R&D Is Globally Accessible; Bringing R&D from Global Sources to DOE Ensure superior access to and preservation of quality scientific and technical content Then we’ll add the obj that relate to STIP…..

  19. Because R&D Results Are Useful Making DOE STI searchable and easily found

  20. Where Is the Industry Headed? • Open Government • Many OSTI data sets are in Data.gov • Determining what new data sets would be high value • “Machine-readable” formats desired • Cookies/Persistent Cookies • New OMB guidance on session cookies may be coming • Many potential changes to underlying OSTI systems to better address user needs/preferences • Multimedia • OSTI is positioning to start accepting multimedia types of STI • New STI Order addresses new forms of STI • http://www.osti.gov/sciencepix/ • Microsoft audio indexing project 20

  21. Multimedia Prototypes • Partnering with Microsoft on a prototype site, which demonstrates the audio searching of videos, available at: • https://www.msravs.com/audiosearch_OSTI/default.aspx?index=mva • An OSTI prototype site, called SciencePix, shows a selected set of videos with limited metadata, and no audio indexing: http://www.osti.gov/sciencepix/ • It is available, although password-protected, outside the building

  22. Ensuring Access to Science Information and Research Results

  23. Continuing to Adapt and Adopt We must do new things because what it means to manage STI in 2010 is very different than what it was even 10 years ago.
