  1. WorldWideScience.org Multilingual Search of Chemistry and Other Sciences ACS National Meeting Fall 2012 Brian A. Hitson, Associate Director Office of Scientific and Technical Information U.S. Department of Energy WorldWideScience Alliance

  2. What Is OSTI? Since 1947! OSTI is a program within DOE’s Office of Science, with a corporate responsibility for ensuring access to DOE R&D results. • Public access to unclassified, unlimited • Restricted access to classified and sensitive Energy Policy Act of 2005 “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.” "…the Department’s role as a source of information…is unique and indispensable in the advancement of energy technologies.”-- from Quadrennial Technology Review press release "Our success should be measured not when a project is completed or an experiment concluded, but when scientific and technical information is disseminated…” -- from 2011 Department of Energy Strategic Plan

  3. DOE-Affiliated Articles by Publisher (2007-2012) Source: Web of Science Elsevier 21% Springer4% Wiley6% American Chemical Society19% Institute of Physics7% American Institute of Physics 8% American Physical Society18%

  4. OSTI Products For specific document or media types Aggregator Products – federated search Integrates key DOE databasesCovers a range of R&D results (reports, patents, citations, e-prints, etc.) Integrates 12 U.S. federal science agenciesDatabases and websites offer over 200 million pages of science information Integrates >70 nations Provides over 400 million pages of science information from databases and portals worldwide; performs multilingual search across 10 languages; translation of English content for non-English speakers and non-English content for English speakers

  5. 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

  6. 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

  8. Multilingual Translations • The world’s first “one to many” and “many to one” multilingual translations tool in science. • Most automatic translations are limited to translating from a single language into another single language. • WorldWideScience.org partnering with Microsoft® Translator enables true multilingual functionality.

  9. Multilingual Translations Translating ten languages, with potential for more: Arabic Chinese 中文 German Deutsch English Spanish Espaol French Français Japanese 日本語 Korean 한국어 Portuguese Portuguệs Russian Pyccкий ñ

  11. 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 ~1,800 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.
