2 If the sharing of knowledge is accelerated, discovery is accelerated Profound implications for all of us in the information business! Science Progresses as Knowledge is Shared

3 Discovery Research Facilities High Performance Computing Scientists Information Information feeds discovery A Key Piece of Science Discovery

4 From: The Power of a Good Idea: quantitative modeling of the spread of ideas from epidemiological models, Luis M. A. Bettencourt, Ariel Cintron-Arias, Carlos Castillo-Chavez; David Kaiser, May 2005 Discovery path of US and UK authors The Spread of Knowledge about Feynman Diagrams The Spread of Knowledge Can Be Measured & Modeled

5 Knowledge is contagious. Increasing the contact rate means researchers “catch” an idea faster. The Spread of Knowledge Can Be Accelerated

6 In January 2007, Dr. Raymond Orbach, DOE Under Secretary for Science, and Lynne Brindley, Chief Executive of the British Library signed a Statement of Intent to partner in the development of a searchable global science gateway. International partnership kicks off global science gateway

7 WorldWideScience.org was launched in June 2007 Now searches over 40 portals from more than 50 countries

8  A federation of the leading science portals sponsored by the governments and national institutions of over 50 countries  A quantity of science (more than 200 million pages from every inhabited continent)  A breakthrough in content enabled by breakthrough technology

9 Many popular search engines rely on crawler based technology WorldWideScience.org & Federated Search Technology

10 Federated search drills down to the deep Web where scientific databases reside Federated search systems Probe the Deep Web Deep Web databases Surface Web
