Deep Web Technologies Enhances DOE Science Accelerator With Alerts

SANTA FE, N.M., March 30, 2010 -- Serious science
researchers can now receive information about new DOE
resources relevant to them via the new alerts service at the
DOE Science Accelerator (http://scienceaccelerator.gov).
Users of the free service, powered by federated search
pioneer Deep Web Technologies' Explorit Research
Accelerator, create a personalized profile of searches
related to their areas of interest. The service performs
these searches on users' behalf every week and emails the
users notifications of newly published results.

Science Accelerator is a gateway to DOE-related science
information, including R&D results, project descriptions,
accomplishments and other authoritative information, via
resources made available by the U.S. Department of Energy
Office of Scientific and Technical Information [OSTI
(http://www.osti.gov)]. Science Accelerator searches ten
major DOE databases and portals, including hundreds of
thousands of full-text documents going back to 1991 and many
more citations going back to the Manhattan Project era.
Science Accelerator resources are incorporated into 
Science.gov, also hosted by OSTI. Science.gov is
incorporated into another product maintained by OSTI,
WorldWideScience.org, exposing Science Accelerator resources
to a global audience.

OSTI created Science Accelerator and introduced it to the
public in April 2007. Explorit, Deep Web Technologies'
federated search system, allows Science Accelerator users to
search the ten databases simultaneously in real-time and
from a single search box. Relevant results from all sources
are compared against one another, ranked for relevance, and
displayed in a single search results page.

"I'm delighted to play a part in expanding the scope of what
Science Accelerator can do. DOE scientists produce important
research results and the new alerts service makes it easy
for researchers to keep current with these findings," noted
Abe Lederman, Deep Web Technologies' founder and President.

Dr. Walt Warnick, Director of OSTI, explains the importance
of the new alerts service. "Our major emphasis at OSTI is to
advance scientific discovery. We do that by finding
innovative ways to connect scientists, researchers and the
public with important R&D results. Alerts provide an
important mechanism to inform our users of the latest
discoveries."
