Federated Search - Don't Get Caught Taking the Narrow View of What is Possible
5 Nov 2009, 3:57 pm
As with most things, all federated search products are not created equally. Recently, I ran across a situation where federated search was derided for lack of capability related to precision search and relevancy ranking. As is often the case, this derision is founded in a narrow view of federated search. The view that federated search is only capable of generically searching data stores or not providing relevance across the resources being searched is this narrow view of what the technology can achieve. At OSTI we see these issues as the challenges that federated search faces, not the reality it must operate in. Recently, I pointed out that OSTI has been on the forefront of the development of federated search for over a decade. During that time, working in close partnership with Deep Web Technologies, we have made significant advances in our federated search technology to combat the issues of the narrow view.

The Benefits of Investments in Basic Research
2 Nov 2009, 2:02 pm
Long-term investments in basic research produce the major conceptual breakthroughs necessary for creating radically new technologies.  To be sure, scientists cannot make specific promises about future advances, and there often are long delays in the applications that arise from basic research.  Furthermore, sometimes applied research leads to important basic knowledge, and technologies developed for basic research can lead to broader applications.  Throughout history, advances in scientific knowledge have resulted in revolutions in technology that have improved the standard of living and enhanced our way of life.

Leaping Concepts and Global Discovery
28 Oct 2009, 11:22 am
Much of what OSTI does is aimed at accelerating communication within scientific communities. But there is another vitally important kind of scientific communication that we are also facilitating, which I call "leaping concepts." Leaping concepts refers to the case where an important concept suddenly leaps from one community to another. Leaping concepts are often transformational. Finding these vital concepts, so they can leap, is what we mean by "global discovery."

For Spreading Knowledge, the Optimum Investment Is Not the Minimum
27 Oct 2009, 1:25 pm

An earlier article derived the Knowledge Investment Curve.

 

Information sharing is an integral part of the R&D process. Thus, decision makers affect the pace of scientific progress when they determine the fraction of R&D dollars dedicated to sharing knowledge. Think of it this way: A program for sharing knowledge derived from scientific research has much in common with a scientific research program itself in that they share the common goal of advancing science.

OSTI Connects with Universities Nationwide
22 Oct 2009, 12:11 pm
One of OSTI’s founding missions is to support education.  From the early 1960s when OSTI provided educational materials on the atom and published the booklet called “Understanding the Atom” we have been committed to education.  While information in OSTI databases can be used by teachers, students and parents for Kindergarten through High School, many of the technical documents and research findings are better suited for university studies. OSTI’s databases contain thousands of university research projects that were either funded by DOE or sponsored through partnerships. Who needs this higher-level information?

DOE, IAEA Partner for Greater Access to Nuclear Energy R&D
27 Oct 2009, 8:23 am
The findings from years of nuclear energy research supported by the Department of Energy (DOE) and predecessor agencies are being made searchable on the World Wide Web, due to a collaborative project between DOE and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). These documents have been provided by member states over the years, including more than 180,000 documents from the DOE Office of Scientific and Technical Information (OSTI). OSTI receives frequent requests for legacy nuclear energy-related documents, according to OSTI Director Walt Warnick. "There is a misperception that all science documents are readily accessible via the web. They are not. Much science remains hard to find and retrieve as it is recorded only in paper format. Thanks to the partnership between DOE and IAEA, this situation is changing, and the research for peaceful uses of nuclear energy is becoming more accessible online. This tremendous body of knowledge is thus enjoying a renaissance of use and interest, and science progress will accelerate."

OSTI Mission

The mission of the Office of Scientific and Technical Information (OSTI) is to advance science and sustain technological creativity by making R&D findings available and useful to Department of Energy (DOE) researchers and the American people. Ongoing strategies for accomplishing this mission:

* Collaborate within DOE to develop and maintain an efficient, state-of-the-art access and delivery program.

* Partner with others to facilitate national and international cooperation and information exchange.

* Develop, deliver, and maintain information products and services for a variety of constituencies.

* Implement department-wide STI policy and best business practices.

* Preserve STI, in tangible copies or electronically, as appropriate.

* Accelerate the diffusion of knowledge to advance science.

Adopt-A-Doc?

The Energy Citations Database has a new feature called Adopt-A-Doc? This is an on-demand service that provides individuals the option to sponsor the digitization of full-text DOE technical reports for a nominal fee, thus making important research broadly available via the World Wide Web.

Check out the Adopt-A-Doc? FAQ to learn more of the details on this new service.
