New federated search portal: Scitopia
An interesting new search portal:
Thirteen science and technology societies from across the world are set to launch scitopia.org, a free federated vertical search portal, in a bid to create more direct access to their collective content. The new portal, to be launched in June 2007, will enable users to explore the research most cited in scholarly work and patents in a single click.
Founding partners include the American Geophysical Union, American Institute for Aeronautics and Astronautics, American Institute of Physics, American Physical Society, American Society of Civil Engineers, American Society of Mechanical Engineers, the Electrochemical Society, IEEE, Institute of Physics Publishing, Optical Society of America, SPIE, Society of Automotive Engineers and Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics. Other organisations will be invited to join as the project progresses.
Access to actual content will still of course be via institution subscriptions.
