  1. WorldWideScience.org A Global Intersection of Science, Ethics, and Law ICSTI Annual Conference 2012 Richard Boulderstone, British Library WorldWideScience Alliance Chair Walter Warnick, U.S. Department of Energy WorldWideScience Alliance Operating Agent

  2. A Recap: What is WorldWideScience.org? • Progress since 2007 • Global comprehensiveness • Multilingual translations • Multimedia search • New members • Relevance to scientific integrity • New strategic directions

  3. History and Collaboration • WorldWideScience.org concept emanated from Science.gov model (2006) • Initial partnership between U.S. Department of Energy and the British Library (2007) • Transition to multilateral governance (WorldWideScience Alliance) and ICSTI* sponsorship (2008) • *International Council for Scientific and Technical Information

  4. WorldWideScience.orgsearches the ‘deep web’ • Where science is hundreds of times larger than the “surface web” • Generally not searchable by major search engines Deep Web

  5. Multilingual Translations • The world’s first “one to many” and “many to one” multilingual translations tool in science. • Ten languages – Arabic, Chinese, German, English, Spanish, French, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian • WorldWideScience.org partnering with Microsoft® Translator enables true multilingual functionality.

  6. Access to Multimedia-basedScience & Technology A Case Study for Enhanced Multimedia Search & Retrieval http://www.osti.gov/sciencecinema/ • Partnership between OSTI and Microsoft Research. • Launched in February 2011; searches ~2,600 multimedia files. • Utilizes Microsoft Research Audio Video Indexing System (MAVIS). • Enables searching of digitized spoken content. • Users can search for precise term within video and be directed to the exact point in the video where the term was spoken.

  7. WorldWideScience Alliance • New Members Two New WorldWideScience Alliance Members Korean Association of Medical Journal Editors (KAMJE) DataCite

  8. WWS.org’s Relevance to Scientific Integrity The intersection of science, ethics, and law is… Scientific Integrity Intellectual Honesty Accuracy Fairness Transparency Responsibility

  9. WWS.org’s Relevance to Scientific Integrity • WWS’s 80+ databases are trusted, authoritative sources • As national, or nationally-sanctioned databases, they have an implicit commitment to Scientific Integrity

  10. WWS.org’s Relevance to Scientific Integrity • With its global search of 80+ databases, WWS… • Distills and ranks the “best of the best” • Serving as a “multiplier” for scientific integrity

  11. What’s next for • WorldWideScience.org? The Next Frontier for WWS = “Big Data” • How big is “big data”? • Answer = 22,700,000 hits on Google • But “big data” has two major problems • It’s hard to find … and • It’s hard to navigate … until now.

  12. What’s next for • WorldWideScience.org?

  21. What’s next for • WorldWideScience.org? Future Growth Opportunities for WWS.org • Inclusion of additional scientific data collections • Collaboration opportunities with entities such as DataCite and DataBib • Increased membership and participation, both as database/source owners and as WWS Alliance members • Growth of Open Access movement in UK, EU, US represents next potential expansion for WWS

  22. What’s next for • WorldWideScience.org? Inclusion of Open Access Resources • Currently developing a prototype for federated searching of open access journals • SOAJ – Science Open Access Journals – will be added to WWS later this year
