  1. ETDE – A Catalyst for Energy Technology Breakthroughs: Bringing the Researcher Closer to Research Lisbon, Portugal 5 July 2007 Brian A. Hitson Chair, IEA Energy Technology Data Exchange (U.S. DOE Office of Scientific and Technical Information)

  2. Advances in energy technology depend on the diffusion of knowledge Isaac Newton expressed this thought most eloquently in 1676, when he wrote: “If I have seen further than others, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.”

  3. A B C Sequential diffusion may take months to years!

  4. A New Era of Innovation Accelerating the sharing of knowledge means science progresses faster, compressing decades to years, years to months, and months to days.

  5. Pre-ETDE “A Bilateral World” Inefficient Costly Duplicative

  6. Common Database ETDE Model – Multilateral Cooperation: • Efficient • Comprehensive • Original “One Stop” Concept

  7. 2006 2004 1987 Increasing amounts of electronic full-text 1999 Commercial information vendors - Sole Access Channel 2005 Bib records, non-electronic full text 2003 Technical Evolution of the ETDE Model

  8. Brazil China India Mexico South Africa ETDE’s Strategic Evolution – A History of Partnering/Collaboration • INIS • Support to G8 Developing Country Goals • IEA NEET Initiative – “Plus 5” Countries • European Commission Support • Other IEA Cooperation • Clean Coal Centre • IEA publications

  9. Current and Future Information Landscape – Challenges and Solutions • Challenges • The “Google” Perception – Everything is “there” • Reality of surface web versus deep web • “Members Only” Access • Economics of producing bibliographic records • Proliferation of distributed portals – maintaining an identity • Multiplicity of languages

  10. Current and Future Information Landscape – Challenges and Solutions Continued • Solutions • Balance strategic partnerships and strategic individualism • Maintain a niche – specialty • Search and be searched – but require attribution

  11. Current and Future Information Landscape – Challenges and Solutions Continued • Solutions • Adopt technology to overcome usage limitations • Automated user authentication tools • Sophisticated “on the fly” translations tools • Continually strive to bring researchers closer to research • Integrate numeric data access into full text • Accommodate video and audio • Integrate resources into “collaboratories”
