  1. Advancing Global Discovery Dr. Walter L. Warnick Director DOE Office of Scientific and Technical Information FLICC Meeting, November 29, 2007Sharing Our Knowledge

  2. OSTI Mission: To advance science and sustain technological creativity by making R&D findings available and useful to DOE researchers and the American people

  3. Science Progresses as Knowledge Is Shared OSTI Corollary: If the sharing of knowledge is accelerated, discovery is accelerated Profound implications for all of us in the information business!

  4. We can accelerate the sharing of knowledge … But first we must dispel the misperception that popular search engines are already doing the job

  5. Much of Science is Non-Googleable In fact, the vast majority of science information is in databases within the deep Web – or the non-Googleable Web – where popular search engines cannot go We in the information business need to recognize this gap between availability and need, and seize the opportunity to … Provide science information consumers with better tools

  6. Surface Web Deep Web databases Federated search drills down to the deep Web where scientific databases reside Unlike the Google solution, federated search places no burden on the database owners We need systems, such as federated search, that probe the deep Web

  7. OSTI has recognized the need to bridge this gap; our emerging solution is “federated” search 50 million pages of federal science information Key DOE databases Our most recent federated search engine is WorldWideScience.org – the global science gateway

  8. International partnership kicks off global science gateway In January 2007, Dr. Raymond Orbach, 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.

  9. WorldWideScience.org was launched in June 2007 and now searches 24 portals from 17 countries of every inhabited continent Enables access to prominent as well as smaller, less well-known sources of highly valuable science WorldWideScience.org allows the users to search multiple data sources around the globe from a single query search box

  10. What Is WorldWideScience.org? • A federation of the leading science portals sponsored by the governments of 17 countries • A quantity of science searched comparable to that searchable via Google, with the bulk of the science being non-Googleable • A breakthrough in content enabled by break-through technology

  11. France The Netherlands Australia Denmark Argentina Brazil Chile Colombia Germany Portugal Canada New Zealand United States Japan South Africa United Kingdom Spain Current National Partners in WorldWideScience.org

  12. Current WorldWideScience.org Sources J-STAGE (Japan) J-STORE (Japan) Journal@rchive (Japan) NARCIS (Netherlands) Science.gov (United States) Scientific Electronic Library Online (Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Portugal, Spain) Transactions and Proceedings of the Royal Society of New Zealand 1868-1961 (New Zealand) UK PubMed Central (United Kingdom) Vascoda (Germany) African Journals Online (South Africa) Article@INIST (France) Australian Antarctic Data Centre Canada Institute for Scientific and Technical Information CSIR Research Space (South Africa) Defence Research and Development Canada (Canada) DEFF Global E Prints (Denmark) DEFF Research Database (Denmark) Electronic Table of Contents (ETOC) (United Kingdom) J-EAST (Japan)

  13. LIVE DEMO

  14. The stage is set for the future We are ready to scale up our efforts in metasearch, or federated search. Simply put, we intend to make more science accessible to more people than anyone has done before.
