Press Release
The Best Federated Search Engine on the Market
Science.gov Release 3.0 Enhances Federated Search Portal for
Science.gov Alliance
Los Alamos, N.M., Nov. 21, 2005 -- Celebrating three years
of success with the Science.gov portal, the Science.gov
Alliance, a consortium of 12 Federal government agencies,
launches its next generation: Science.gov 3.0.
The state-of-the-art search technology that powers
Science.gov 3.0 is Deep Web Technologies' (DWT)
ResearchAssistant(TM). It is the culmination of two years of
research and development following six years of pioneering
work in federated search. Science.gov 3.0 is built upon the
scalable, distributed Grid-based architecture of
ResearchAssistant(TM), providing a powerful user interface
and sophisticated relevance ranking. The most relevant
documents are quickly located and presented to the user in
real time from a search of 30 databases containing most of
the R&D output of the Federal government.
DWT's search engine capabilities extend vastly beyond those
of search engines such as Google and Yahoo that are popular
with the casual search user. The ResearchAssistant(TM) and
its advanced search capabilities should be of special
interest to researchers and other sophisticated searchers
who need access to high-quality content that only lives in
the "deep web." Included in the "deep web" is publicly
accessible content, such as that in databases that are
searched by Science.gov, and commercially available content
provided by publishers as well as content that is internal
to an organization.
ResearchAssistant(TM) is DWT's enterprise-wide search
application. It is aimed at research organizations within
the pharmaceutical, legal, oil and gas exploration fields,
as well as government agencies, associations and other
companies where timely access to and analysis of large
numbers of documents is critical to success.
Dr. Walter Warnick, director of the US Department of Energy
Office of Scientific and Technical Information is one of the
pioneers of Science.gov. Speaking of the latest release of
Science.gov Dr. Warnick notes, "I am not aware of any
gateway or portal, either in government or in the private
sector, that offers such precise searching and sophisticated
relevance ranking of deep web sources."
Science.gov 3.0 is just the latest step in the evolution of
a technology that gives users increasingly powerful and
practical search capabilities.
