WorldWideScience.org from OSTI
WorldWideScience.org is a global science gateway comprised of national and international scientific databases and portals. WorldWideScience.org accelerates scientific discovery and progress by providing one-stop searching of databases from around the world.
WorldWideScience.org implements Federated Search to provide its encompassing coverage of global science and research results. WorldWideScience.org allows the information patron to search multiple data sources with a single query from the user interface. When the information patron enters a query in the search box, the query is sent to every individual database or portal searched by WorldWideScience.org. The individual data sources send back to WorldWideScience.org a list of results from the search query. WorldWideScience.org then ranks the hits from all the sources in relevance order. The information patron can review this hit list and travel to the host site of a particular hit for more detailed information.
