Recently authors of academic institutes are required
to deposit their peer-reviewed manuscripts in some institutes' digital
archives to make them freely available to the public. With some rules to
be respected, this open-access
policy favors the formation of the better integrated academic societies
and the personal interactions. The formation of the world knowledge
platform is quickly envisaged and will open new horizon of modern prosumer society. Some consequences
and required measures for the success are to be discussed.

Scholarly communication on the Web has been one of
the major research topics in recent years. This research explores the
communication characteristics of scientific knowledge in a national
scholarly Web space comprising top ranking universities and government
supported research institutions in South Korea. Communication activity of
individual sites is measured by several webometric indicators such as
page and link counts, WIF, and WUF. Research results show that there are
institutional differences in scholarly communication activity on the Web
among the academic/research institutions and significant differences in
communication pattern among the three subspaces. In order to enhance
scholarly communication among the research performing institutions, more
active construction as well as maintenance of their Web sites is
required.

For a long time indexing of defined text fields in
academic articles have been the recognized way of managing the ever
increasing amount of scientific information. Only very few, clearly
defined subject areas, have indexed anything but text based information.
Machine indexing can handle large amount of text data cheaply, and large
free search engines such as Google Scholar and Academic Live can retrieve
vast amounts of information very quickly.
But even with so much information freely available, there is still a need
for in depth searching into research articles and data. Because: is “vast
amounts” really always desirable? Is it not better to be able to drill
down to the information quickly and painlessly (i.e. without too many
clicks) get to the relevant
full text article?
The success of Elseviers recently launched Scopus and the continuing
well-being of ISI's Web of Science and of many other bibliographic
databases proves that even purely text based searches in well structured
carefully indexed databases are necessary for the serious researcher to
find not just “something” about a subject, but “everything” about it - in
order not to spend countless hours in the laboratory finding something
which has already been found. The newly developed method of indexing
images, graphs, tables and illustration will bring enable researchers to
search directly into the illustrations of an article, focusing on the
data and not the theory.

Korean Association of Medical Journal Editors
(KAMJE)'s efforts over the last 12 years for the globalization of Korean
medical journal information are introduced. Three major medical databases
developed and operated by KAMJE are currently in service. KoreaMed (http://koreamed.org), an
abstract database of Korean medical journal articles began operation in
1997. KoMCI (http://komci.org)
are composed of two databases: KoMCI Web provides the citing and cited
information among Korean medical journal articles, and KoMCI Journal Web
provides the annual citation analysis data of Korean medical journals.
Synapse (http://synapse.koreamed.org)
which began service in November 2007 is a digital archive and reference
linking platform of Korean medical journals. All information in the
databases is in English and freely available. The databases use the
international standards such as NLM Journal Publishing XML DTD and DOI,
and allow robots of major search engines including Googlebots. The
intention is to provide the “language, log-in, and technological”
barrier-free access to Korean medical journals to facilitate a wider
dissemination and hence a greater international visibility of Korean
medical journal information.

for efficient R&D management and to improve national R&D
productivity. A standardized data model which covers R&D business
activities like policy making, process management, result evaluation etc
is introduced based on the agreement of participating different
institutes and organizations. Various types of R&D information are
interlinked based on the R&D business logic so that all the
stakeholders can navigate NTIS to search necessary information required

Due to popularization of the Internet, people's need
to information resources has changed. As a consequence their requirements
to libraries has also changed. Consideeing such changes, terms many
libraries have started providing new services under the term like
"library 2.0" and "u(ubiquitous)-library."
In this presentation we will strat with reviewing the library's mission
and its services provided so far, followed with introducing some cases
for on-going and planned library services by the Kyushu University
Library, which I am involved in as a researcher, and by other libraries.
Lastly, we will discuss some other services such as high level researh
assistant and library marketing as important services in the next
generation libraries.

"Integration of Knowledge Systems"
|
![](kisti_icsti_conf_fichiers/image005.gif) ![](kisti_icsti_conf_fichiers/image006.gif)
|
|
Knowledge Organization Systems (KOS) include all types of schemes
for organizing information and promoting knowledge management, such as
classification schemes, subject headings, authority files, and
less-traditional schemes, such as semantic networks and ontologies.
We use in VINITI the Rubricator, which is a classification scheme for
organizing our abstract journal Referativniy
Zhurnal, and Universal Decimal Classification (UDC) for
identification of the abstracts themselves. The rubricator is the special
organized hierarchical classification, intended for arrangement of the
current publications in abstract journals or in systems of information
service. Special researches have shown that the rubricator is the best
means for information navigation, i.e. for search in various KOS of the information necessary
for experts.
VINITI (created in Russian Academy of Sciences in
1952) is a largest abstract center (about 1 million abstracts a year
selected from 5 thousand scientific journals). It serves as the center of
navigation for scientific institutes, universities and experts of all
fields of knowledge. The data necessary for them contains not only in
books and journals, but also in databases (DB) of the most different
forms of knowledge organization. Our task consists in to make the Rubricator an instrument for
information search in a DB of various KOS.
A special computer programs are created in VINITI
for this purpose to display various KOS
in Rubricator, i.e. to
establish correspondence between divisions and/or headings of these KOS and headings of the Rubricator corresponding to them.
Certainly, this equivalence cannot be full and unequivocal, but it allows
carrying out search not only in abstract journals, but also in others KOS.
Now such correspondence is
established between Rubricator
and other hierarchical classifications: UDC, the International Patent
Classification, and the Russian Nomenclature of specialties of science
officers, and also the headings of the Mathematics Subject
Classification, rubricators of such abstract services, as Chemical
Abstract Service, Library and Information Science Abstracts. We understand
that it is the first step in integration of KOS. Further it is supposed to cover the largest
abstract services on all branches of science and engineering.

"WorldWideScience.org: Accelerating Global Scientific
Discovery"
|
![](kisti_icsti_conf_fichiers/image005.gif) ![](kisti_icsti_conf_fichiers/image006.gif)
|
|
WorldWideScience.org is a global science gateway
designed to accelerate scientific discovery and progress by accelerating
the sharing of scientific knowledge. Through a multilateral partnership,
WorldWideScience.org enables anyone with internet access to launch a
single-query search of 32 national scientific databases and portals in 44
countries, covering all of the world's inhabited continents and nearly
half of the world's population. From a user's perspective,
WorldWideScience.org makes the databases act as if they were a unified
whole.
First envisioned by a member of the International
Council for Scientific and Technical Information (ICSTI) in 2006, the
concept was formalized in January 2007 when the British Library and the
United States Department of Energy signed a Statement of Intent to
partner in the development of a Global Science Gateway. Later officially
named “WorldWideScience.org,” the gateway was developed by the U.S.
Department of Energy's Office of Scientific and Technical Information and
unveiled to ICSTI members and the public at the June 2007 ICSTI meeting
in Nancy, France.
During the past year, WorldWideScience.org has
transitioned from bilateral management to a multilateral governance
structure, called the WorldWideScience Alliance. The first meeting of the
Alliance is being held at this conference, and founding members will be
participating in a ceremony to officially launch the Alliance. The
Alliance welcomes new members, and other organizations are invited to
join.
Since its release a year ago, WorldWideScience.org
has more than doubled the number of data sources searched and quadrupled
the number of countries participating as information providers.
WorldWideScience.org implements federated searching to provide its
encompassing coverage of global science and research results. Federated
searching technology allows the information patron to search multiple
data sources with a single query in real time. It provides simultaneous
access to deep web scientific databases, which are typically not
searchable by commercial search engines.
WorldWideScience.org is well timed to other trends
in global scientific communication. National research organizations
recognize the importance of increasing the visibility of their R&D
outputs, even in very small countries. At the same time, full-text
information accessibility has increased. Through the innovative
combinations of federated search and other technologies, scientists and
citizens throughout the world now have unprecedented access to scientific
knowledge.

Most research activities related to e-Science in
many countries often include massive, computationally expensive and data
intensive processes in astrophysics, particle physics, biology,
chemistry, engineering application, environmental engineering and medical
science.
Korea national e-Science project is started in 2005, by the support from
Korean Ministry of Education, Science and Technology(MEST). Currently,
problem solving environments, are being constructed in five application
areas(remote imaging service of an electron microscope, climate
information system, molecular simulation, bioinformatics and virtual wind
tunnel). Each application will be developed using common application
support software(data management, visualization and etc) and
infrastructures that was built by the KISTI.
In this presentation, the current status and activities of the e-Science
in Korea are introduced. Specially, the scientific data management
system(AMGA) on scientific applications(Biomedical, engineering and etc)
is describe. AMGA (ARDA Metadata Grid Application) is a metadata
catalogue service which offers access to metadata for files stored on the
Grid. We evaluated the performance of AMGA to analyze whether it is
suitable to store metadata describing docking results and the status of
jobs with WISDOM experiment. In the final section, we summarize
international collaboration works such as USA, EU, UK and Asia-Pacific.

In this talk, we introduce the Research Information
Centre (RIC), a virtual research
environment being developed jointly by the Technical
Computing Group at Microsoft and The British Library. We view researchers
as extreme information workers who
need to find, organise, and extract information from a wide variety of
sources and share it with a range of collaborators and colleagues.The RIC
has been designed to support researchers in managing the increasingly
complex range of tasks involved in carrying out their work during the
entire lifecycle of a project. Our first implementation of the RIC is
focused on the biomedical researcher, leveraging commercial off-the-shelf
software where possible, and focussing on resources of value to this
group. We have worked closely with the biomedical research community
during the development of the RIC and will present the results of beta
testing the product on a group of laboratory-based researchers.

There are many successful efforts to curate
biological databases which underpin modern biology. However, much
important descriptive annotation remains solely in the free text of the
scientific literature. Text-mining techniques have been applied to the
biomedical literature in recent years to extract biological terms,
entities and 'facts', although primarily based on MEDLINE abstracts. This
is an very active research field, and the increasing availability of
full-text for computational access is opening the door for greater
integration of literature with curated biological databases. EBI is
contributing to these developments, and implementing solutions in reliable
public services.

The Biodiversity and Ecosystems information domain
is vast, complex, and critically important to society. Most existing
information, however, is not yet dynamically accessible and therefore not
fully useful. Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) is an
international scientific co-operative project based on a multilateral
agreement (MoU) between 50 countries and 38 international organizations.
GBIF Data Portal (http://data.gbif.org) serves 145 million biodiversity
records of the world through GBIF network at present, and is expected to serve
1 billion records within couple of coming years. Stable and fast access
to this data service should be assured to researcher, policy-maker, and
general public in global, therefore, GBIF established Data Portal mirror
sites on 3 continents: American region by NBII, the U.S. node for GBIF,
European region by BGBM, Berlin-Dahlem, Germany and Asian region by
KISTI, Daejeon, Korea. Korean GBIF Node, Korean Biodiversity Information
Facility (KBIF), is hosting GBIF Data Portal and this mirror site has
securing the system and performing seamless data service all around the
world. Recently, New GBIF Data Portal has opened by fully functional,
providing access to the types of data which are already being shared
through the GBIF Network: Taxonomic names and Specimens and Observations,
and it has enhanced with Georeferencing data.
KBIF (http://www.kbif.re.kr) has established in
early 2003 and has being performed its activity since with support of
government ministry of education, science and technology (MEST). KBIF does
actively participate and communicate through GBIF network and now
contribute the data case of nearly 1.6million records which devoted by 14
data providers (institutions) sharing to GBIF Data Portal and its total
record ranked at 17th amongst GBIF participant at present (April. 2008).
The missions in KBIF are to establish a Korean data network in order to
make national biodiversity data to be used freely and universally through
internet, and importantly to represent Korea in GBIF Network. Also it is
included that to establish the information infrastructure for
facilitating the usage of data, it leads to serve as the gateway from the
data providers to the network, both technologically and organizationally.
Main activities are to support research and implement on data exchange
standards and protocols, so the national biodiversity information
management system is evidently required. KBIF operates KBIF national
biodiversity data portal system (NABIPOS) and KBIF national biodiversity
data repository (KDR). It also includes that to become a liaison between
the national actors and data holders, and to provide technical assistance
to other data providers in order to ease data sharing and work more
efficiently, and to carry out training or mentoring activities, particularly,
organize serious of training workshop and promote 'Becoming a GBIF Data
Provider'. In this short communication, the activity, mission, role,
operations of data node and achievements of the KBIF, and the flow of
biodiversity data in Korea national biodiversity information network will
be delivered and discussed.

With the growing importance of online information
comes the need for accurate measurement of its usage. And, associated
with the distributed nature of the content being accessed, is the need
for simple ways of gathering the usage data. This session will examine
two standards efforts: the COUNTER guidelines, which enable content
providers to supply consistent, credible and comparable usage data; and,
SUSHI, which automates the retrieval of that usage data. Attendees of
this session will come away with an appreciation of how these standards
work together and the benefits they bring to both publishers and
libraries.

The role of S&T in Japan has become increasingly
crucial to boost its economy and to pursue sustainable development at the
same time as the nation faces a declining population with a shrinking
younger generation and global R&D competition.
As Japan is ranked second in scientific paper production, access to and
provision of STI (scientific and technical information) constitutes a
very important priority in R&D infrastructure.In the presentation, an
overview of current national S&T polices now with more emphasis on innovation
is described followed by some bibliometric statistics of Japan's S&T papers.
Current status of Japan's e-journals and journal archiving projects along
with OA(Open Access) and new movement of institutional repositories are
introduced. In addition, recent trend of legacy A&I information
service such as bibliometric analysis and visualization is introduced
along with associative searching functionality and a comprehensive
dictionary of author affiliation, author, terminology and other information.
Further, major STI organizations and their roles and products are
explained briefly and new services made available by cooperation of
plural STI organizations are also introduced. The final summary deals
with future and emerging moves in STI and international collaboration.

KISTI was founded as a national S&T information
center named KORSTIC in early 1960's. While going through several
unifications with and saparations from different organizations, KISTI's
S&T information services have been changed. At the end of the first
decade of 21st century, KISTI is facing new challenges. To cope with these
challenges KISTI has performed a project since last year. In the project
some new approaches were adopted such as linking between information
objects, One Source Multi-Platform policy, globalization of Korea STI,
collaboration with other providers,Web 2.0 paradigm and so on.In this
presentation the new concepts of S&T information services of KISTI
will be introduced.

Pohang Light Source (PLS) is the largest research
facility in Korea covering broad range of research areas from basic
science to biomedical and engineering applications. The PLS consists of
two major accelerators - 2.5 GeV electron linac and 2.5 GeV synchrotron
called the storage ring, and 27 beamlines. The 160m-long linac generates
a series of electron bunches and accelerates them to 2.5 GeV. The storage
ring of 280m-circumference captures these electrons and maintains their
orbit within a few microns in the transversal direction. When the
accelerated electrons enter the strong magnetic fields produced by
electromagnets or a series of permanent magnets called undulators or
wigglers, the electron loses a fraction of their energy. This lost energy
becomes a strong synchrotron radiation in tangential direction, which
covers wide range of spectrum from visible light up to strong X-rays.
There are two major research applications: using X-rays to study inner
property of various materials and using vacuum ultraviolet light to study
the characteristics of various surfaces and interfaces. There are more
than 2,000 users in each year and they are carrying out more than 700
different experiments by using 27 beamlines. In order to operate PLS
properly and to support various users, the PLS control system has a large
sets of databases. Since the information of the beam orbit is very
important, all settings of magnet power supplies (about 400 units) and
all readings of various diagnostic monitors including 108 beam position
monitors are recorded. Moreover, since we have adapted orbit feedback and
feed-forward systems, every correction in every 2 seconds (0.5 Hz) is
continuously recorded and later retrieved to analyze some peculiar
behaviors of the orbit. Fastest data handling is done by the longitudinal
feedback system. The energy offset of each electron bunch (e.g. total 300
bunches in typical run) is measured and corrected if necessary by
accelerating or decelerating the particular electron bunch within 7
micro-second. The data size of PLS is an order of 3 GB, which is not big.
However, this data must be taken in realtime and used as an input to
various feedback systems. This makes PLS data system unique.

KISTI in Korea started to develop the factual
database since 2000. The strategy of developing the factual database is
focused on the cooperation with research institute because the persistent
data updating activity is considered to be most important in developing
the factual database. During nearly 8 years, 5 factual databases is
developed by cooperating with corresponding research institute. These
databases are plasma property, chemicals, Korean human information, Korean
traditional knowledge such as Korean traditional medical/foods and
inorganic crystal structure. The new data is updating regularly per year
and the gate website of these databases is http://fact.kisti.re.kr that is
written in Korean. The Korean traditional knowledge database has also
English version. In this lecture, we will introduce these factual
databases mainly focused on the main contents and in case of Korean human
information, the data production procedure is also described.

"DOI registration for Scientific Primary Data"

Knowledge, as published through scientific
literature, is the last step in a process originating from primary
scientific data. /These data are analysed, synthesised, interpreted, and
the outcome of this process is published as a scientific article.
Only a very small proportion of the original data are published in
conventional scientific
journals. Existing policies on data archiving notwithstanding, in today's
practice data are primarily stored in private files, not in secure
institutional repositories, and effectively are lost. This lack of access
to scientific data is an obstacle to interdisciplinary and international
research. It causes unnecessary duplication of research efforts, and the
verification of results becomes difficult, if not impossible (Dittert,
Diepenbroek & Grobe, 2001). Large amounts of research funds are spent
every year, while already existing data remain underutilised (Arzberger,
Schroeder, Beaulieu, Bowker, Casey, Laaksonen et al., 2004).
To enable citations of data that encourage good
scientific practice and acknowledgement of scientific work, the German Research Foundation (DFG)
started the project Publication and
Citation of Scientific Primary Data.
Starting with the field of earth science the German National Library of Science and Technology (TIB)
is now established as a DOI-registration agency for scientific primary
data as a member of the International
DOI Foundation (IDF).
Primary data related to geoscientific, climate and
environmental research is stored locally at those institutions which are
responsible for its evaluation and maintenance. In addition to the local
data provision, the TIB saves the URL where the data can be accessed
including all bibliographic metadata. When data are registered, the TIB
provides a Digital Object Identifier
(DOI) as a unique identifier for content objects in the digital
environment. DOIs are names assigned to any entity for use on digital
networks. They are used to provide current information, including where
they (or information about them) can be found on the Internet.
Information about a digital object may change over time, including where
to find it, but its DOI will remain stable.
All information about the data is accessible through
the online library catalogue of the TIB.
The entries are displayed with all relevant metadata and persistent
identifiers as links to access the dataset itself.
The registration of any scientific content that is a result of community
funded research shall is a primary task for the TIB. This includes the
registration of various different content types like crystal structures,
earth samplings, 3-D models, etc.Until now (april 2008) the TIB has
registered 555,567 data sets, 6,302 radiological case studies, 1,342
technical reports and 11,312 learning objects.
At the ICSTI conference the TIB will furthermore
promote the creation of a new independent DOI registration agency open
for any information institute or library in the future.
