Online NASA scientific databases
Posted by judy on 10.20.08 5:21PM under web development
These searchable databases required custom user interface design, legacy data conversion, data definition mapping, and metadata creation for more than 3 million records, integrated more than 2,000 PDF documents, and implemented policies for security and access control. The sites are:
ASAP, developed for the Scientific and Technical Information (STI) Program, has more than 3 million documents integrated into the STI Center for Aerospace Information (CASI) servers.
SonicSearch, the High-Speed Research Program’s search site for scientific and technical working papers, conference papers, and research information metadata with original documents available in PDF.
HyperACCESS, the Hyper-X Program’s search site for scientific and technical working papers, conference papers, and research information metadata, with original documents available in PDF.
We used Open Text Corporation‘s Livelink Discovery Server software for the integrated search facility and database, on a Sun Solaris 8 server, the Apache webserver, and PERL for preparing and processing database content; for client Computer Sciences Corp. under contract to NASA Langley Research Center.
