TraitBank is the structured data service of the Encyclopedia
of Life. Launched in 2014, it currently hosts 9 million
data records for 1.7 million taxa, including trait records
(eg: cell size, life history traits) and other attributes including
administrative ones (eg: IUCN status, type specimen
repository). Marine datasets include verbal localities
from WoRMS, habitat categories from AlgaeBase, water
temperature ranges based on known occurrence records
from OBIS, and literature derived datasets including cell
masses of phytoplankton and tissue mineralization types
of algae and invertebrates. Hosted records include all
available metadata, including detailed attribution, url of
data source if online; organism information including sex
and life stage; date, locality and method information for
field studies, and any other fields provided by the source.
TraitBank is not a repository. Most hosted records are
deposited with a scholarly publication, or an institutional
or aggregator database. Presence in TraitBank makes
individual records findable by EOL search (http://eol.org/
data_search) or web search engine. Search results on EOL
are available by CSV download and records are available
to semantic web applications via a JSON-LD web service,
including all metadata. Fresh Data is a data search service
in development primarily for the Citizen Science community,
funded by NSF. Interested occurrence data providers
will register to be indexed. Their data will be deposited at
GBIF, using the IPT, if possible, and in TraitBank otherwise
(eg: presence/absence or abundance data, if GBIF
cannot accommodate them). Searchers can query the
index for recent records by time, location and taxonomic
group. Registered researchers will also be able to save and
publish their data queries, which will alert them if new
data appears matching their criteria, and alert the data
provider that their data was delivered to a subscriber.

A Comparison between Two Main Academic Literature Collections: Web of Science...
Nowadays, the world’s scientific community has been publishing an enormous number of papers in different scientific fields. In such environment, it is essential to know which databases are equally efficient and objective for literature searches. It seems that two most extensive databases are Web of Science and Scopus. Besides searching the literature, these two databases used to rank journals in terms of their productivity and the total citations received to indicate the journals impact, prestige or influence. This article attempts to provide a comprehensive comparison of these databases to answer frequent questions which researchers ask, such as: How Web of Science and Scopus are different? In which aspects these two databases are similar? Or, if the researchers are forced to choose one of them, which one should they prefer? For answering these questions, these two databases will be compared based on their qualitative and quantitative characteristics.

New horizons mission
The New Horizons Mission launched in 2006 and flew by Pluto in 2015, capturing the first close-up images of the dwarf planet. It is currently traveling to make a flyby of Kuiper belt object 2014 MU69 on January 1, 2019. The spacecraft has already transmitted about half of the large volume of data it collected during the Pluto flyby, which took a flyby of Jupiter earlier for a gravity assist. Its instruments include the Venetia Burney Student Dust Counter built by university students to measure dust. Upcoming objectives for the 2014 MU69 flyby include mapping and analyzing its surface composition and searching for signs of geological or atmospheric activity.
Cassini missions
The Cassini mission has provided numerous insights into Saturn and its moons over its 15+ year exploration of the Saturn system. Key findings include that Titan has lakes of methane and a subsurface ocean, Enceladus likely hosts conditions suitable for microbial life beneath its surface, and Saturn itself experiences massive seasonal storms. The extended Cassini Solstice mission through 2017 will allow scientists to study an entire seasonal cycle on Saturn and conduct close flybys of moons like Titan and Enceladus to learn more about their potential for habitability.
