WorldWideScience.orgA Global Alliance Supporting Open Science
and Innovations in DiscoveryDobrica SavicHead of the Nuclear Information Section, IAEAChair, WorldWideScience Alliance
The Beginning - January 2007
Global Science Gateway Agreement Signed in London
United States and United Kingdom -Statement of Intent to partner inthe development of a searchableglobal science gateway
Signed by Dr. Ray Orbach, then UnderSecretary for Science of the U.S. Departmentof Energy, and Dame Lynn Brindley, thenChief Executive Officer of the British Library
Global Science Gateway Opens – June 2007
WorldWideScience.org prototype launched 10 Countries Represented 15 Databases/Portals Searchable
WorldWideScience Alliance Formed – June 2008
WorldWideScience AllianceFormed to establish a Multilateral Governance Structure
Growth of WorldWideScience.org – 2009
Between inception of the prototype in 2007 and 2009,WorldWideScience.org grew from:
• 10 countries represented… to 56 countries• 15 searchable databases/portals… to more than
50 databases
In 2009, China joined theWorldWideScience Alliance
Increasing the need formultilingual translationscapabilities…
Multilingual WorldWideScience.org – 2010
In partnership with Microsoft Research, WorldWideScience.orgintroduced multilingual translations capabilities in June 2010
Breaking Down Language Barriers and Accelerating Scientific Discovery
Multilingual Translations
The world’s first “one to many” and“many to one” multilingualtranslations tool in science
• Most automatic translations arelimited to translating from a singlelanguage into another singlelanguage
• WorldWideScience.org partneringwith Microsoft® Translator enablestrue multilingual functionality
Integration of Multimedia and Speech-Indexed Content – 2011
Multimedia (video, audio, images)A major emerging form of scientific and technical information
Within WorldWideScience.org –users can search for the preciseterm within video and be directedto the exact point in the videowhere the term was spoken
Integration of Scientific and Research Data – 2012
WorldWideScience.org overcomes many of the challengesassociated with the discoverability of scientific and research data:
Open Data sources searchable with a single query
Consolidated results list
Links to original records, including datasets

Growth and Enhancements – 2013-2018
New design and layout, includingmobile responsive compatibility
New databases and portalsadded – over 100 resources nowsearchable
Federated search technologyimprovements – faster searchspeeds and addition of resultsclustering options
Growth and Enhancements – 2013-2018
Translations enhancements –continued use of Microsoft’slatest Translator services
Introduction of Topic Pages(exposing popular WWS.orgresults to Google indexing)contributed to majorincreases in usage
Over 80 million transactions per year!
Growth and Enhancements – 2013-2018
Inclusion of Open Access/Public Access Resources
U.S. “public access” databases
Growth and Enhancements – 2013-2018
A Key Pillar in Enabling Open Science –Promoting Discovery of Scientific Software
For the past 10 Years…
WorldWideScience.org has accelerated scientific discovery by:
Providing access to authoritative, high quality resources
Enabling users to search multiple databases with a single query, includingunique deep web content not readily indexed by major search engines
Translating search queries into multiple languages, and then translatingconsolidated results into the user’s native language
Supporting discovery of textual and non-textual (multimedia, research data,scientific software) information
The Next 10 Years…
WorldWideScience.org will promote scientific collaboration,participation, and transparency:
Build on the base: More sources, countries, languages, full text, multimedia, data, and software
Provide equal access to science for anyone on the Internet through continued growth ofopen/public access resources for scholarly publications, research data, and scientific software
Multilingual federated search of these diverse and related research objects continues to havemajor discovery advantages over traditional search engines
Increase membership and participation, both as database/source owners and asWorldWideScience Alliance members
