Signing Event in Seoul Joins Partners Representing Dozens of Countries
SANTA FE, N.M., July 3, 2008 — Deep Web Technologies' founder and CEO Abe Lederman was present at the WorldWideScience.org alliance members' signing ceremony in Seoul, Korea. Representatives of scientific and technical research agencies in dozens of countries joined in the signing, committing to accelerate scientific discovery through a global search portal. Deep Web Technologies is WorldWideScience.org's federated search partner.
"Working with WorldWideScience.org, ensuring that serious science researchers get connected to the wealth of relevant and reliable information from its alliance members has been exciting and fulfilling," said Mr. Lederman. "To be present at this historic signing showed me that Deep Web Technologies has been a meaningful partner. I couldn't be more honored."
WorldWideScience.org is a global, digital science gateway that connects users to national and international scientific databases. Its aim is to accelerate scientific discovery and progress by providing one-stop searching of global science sources. The WorldWideScience Alliance is a multilateral partnership consisting of 11 agencies representing dozens of large and small countries around the world. These agencies' digital research banks — whose science content rivals the volume searched by Google — are accessible through a single search query, powered by Deep Web Technologies' federated search engine, Explorit Research Accelerator. The typical user query searches 200 million pages of science and technology information not typically accessible through popular search engines.
"The promise of truly unleashing global scientific communication, through WorldWideScience.org, is head-spinning in terms of its impact on accelerating scientific progress," said Dr. Jeffrey Salmon, Associate Under Secretary for Science for the U.S. Department of Energy. "WorldWideScience.org may become the Alexandria Library of the 21st century for science."
