WorldWideScience.org The Global Science Gateway Walter L. Warnick, Ph.D. Director United States Department of Energy Office of Scientific & Technical Information (Operating Agent for WorldWideScience.org) Washington, D.C., United States

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

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

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

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

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

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
