Conclusion
INIS Tomorrow
International cooperation
Future of scientific information systems
Current status/trends
www.themegallery.com
Decreasing volume of R&D in nuclear area
Increasing role of commercial information provider in nuclear area such as Elsevier
Current status/trends
Increasing volume of unstructured information
Market based business models for majority of database producers
Users are not fully satisfied with existing IS
Timeliness becoming very important factor

Web 2.0 (p2p); Sience Portals; Social NetworksWeb 3.0 e-Science; Science Networks
Current status/trends (2)
Psychological aspects (believes that everything can be found on the Internet
But increasing number of untrusted sources of scientific information
Information services becoming extremely important
Each organisation maintains own IS(s); Integration of national information resources
Open information sources/portals such as Public Library of Science, Google Scholar, WorldWideScience, science.gov, …
5
Science Networks/Portals
6
Important!
Dialog STN Ovid INIS ETDE INSPEC ...
Still remain in demand and continue playing important roles
7
Managing Grey Literature
GreyNet International
OpenGrey (Europe)
European Patent Office
Open Archives Initiative
Direct publication on the Internet by authors, organization and conference organizers (limited time)
8
Future of Scientific Information Systems
Future IT defines future IS Must be service oriented and proactive Adress different levels of education
(students , teachers, scientists) Integration with other information systems at
national and international levels (access via various portals and networks)
Must accept international standards and formats
Timeliness and direct access «documents» are very important
9
Future of Scientific Information Systems
Metadata (including semantic) remain very important
Friendly interfaces with natural language and voice recognition (artificial intelligence)
Mobile technology Support various information formats Support active usage statistics and analysis Not only source of information
e-Science (IS 3.0)
Information + users + service + experts +virtual space
10
International Cooperation
Needed to maintain Grey literature collections
Information systems of international organizations (UNO)
Special information systems (nuclear accidents reporting system, IAEA AQIS)
Numerical databases (PRIS, nuclear data)
Needed for Thesaurus maintanance
11
Future of INIS
1. Integration of INIS into or with the IAEA Library
2. International Nuclear Information Service Provider/Broker
3.Coordinator of Nuclear Information Network
4. Information partner for Nuclear Knowledge Management activities
12
Future of INIS Transformation into digital library
Intergovernmental mechanism will be needed mostly for maintaining NCL collection
Custodian of INIS NCL Collection less interest from Member States
Integration with Libraty as the first step to develop International Nuclear Information Network
Information management partner of nuclear knowledge management Nuclaer Knowledge Management needs information support Intergovernmental mechanism will play key role Interaction between information, technology, and people
• Gelish-like descriptive language development Maintaining Nuclear (INIS) Thesaurus as semantic map of nuclear domain
• NPP Thesauri/taxonomies Capturing knowledge/information Information methodology development Visible benefit for MSs
Way of AGRIS? No

Conclusion
INIS can play important and valuable role in the area of nuclear knowledge management
INIS has new chalenging apportunities to become again a leader in the area of nuclear information services
Some scientific information systems are to be based on international cooperation
Information systems must be information service based
Scientific information systems will remain important but need to be integarated into scientific networks
14
Conclusion Scientific information systems will remain important
but will be integarated into scientific networks
Information systems must be information service based
Some scientific information systems must be based on international cooperation
INIS has new apportunities to become again a leader in the are of nuclear information services
INIS can play important role in the are of nuclear knowledge management
