National Information Service for Earthquake Engineering

该项目为加州大学伯克利分校的国家地震工程信息服务(NISEE)的持续发展和公众访问提供了条件。地震工程文摘数据库是世界上地震工程研究文献的主要来源，被引用的技术文献将很快达到10万篇。由114个源代码程序组成的NISEE软件库成功地将大学对NSF工程研究的长期投资转化为可负担得起的工程分析和设计公共产品。这笔赠款还支持一个研讨会，旨在审查NSF不断发展的小乔治·E·布朗的需求和方向。地震工程模拟网络(NEES)程序。私人投资机构将与国家教育、科学和教育研究所的管理层一起举办讲习班，以确定国家环境教育研究所协作所创造的信息环境中的需求和机会。讲习班将包括来自康奈尔大学科学和工程数字图书馆项目的代表，以及物理界(例如，劳伦斯·利弗莫尔实验室)管理数据库的管理人员和行业代表。会议记录将包括关于未来信息服务的需求和未来方向的建议。

This project provides for continued development and public access to the national Information Service for Earthquake Engineering (NISEE) at the University of California, Berkeley. The Earthquake Engineering Abstracts database, which will soon reach 100,000 citations of the technical literature, is the premier source of earthquake engineering research literature in the world. The NISEE Software Library of 114 programs in source code has successfully turned a long-term investment in NSF engineering research at universities into an affordable public good for engineering analysis and design. The grant also supports a workshop designed to review the needs and directions within NSF's evolving George E. Brown, Jr. Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation (NEES) program. In conjunction with management of NISEE, the PIs will conduct the workshop to identify needs and opportunities in the information environment created by the formation of the NEES collaboratory. The workshop will include representatives from the Science and Engineering Digital Library project at Cornell University, and also managers of curated databases in the physics community (e.g., Lawrence Livermore Laboratory) and industry representatives. The proceedings will include recommendations on needs and future directions in information services in the future.
