Overwhelming growth of
Scientific
and engineering output creates additional pressure on the
Information
system development and production. Many institutions are involved in this complex process. In recent years, tremendous achievements in computer technology and software design shifted the emphasis from data/content. However, booming technology did not make content issues less important. On the contrary, they are gaining in importance because of interdisciplinary nature of R&D work and the fact that
Scientific
and engineering data is more and more often accompanied with trade and business
Information
. Therefore, accessing the right
Information
requires more efforts to design and create databases and other
Information
systems. The World Wide Web presents opportunities to offer solutions never before possible. Institute for
Scientific
Information
(ISI) is in unique position to utilize the Web technology because its inherent capabilities are completely compatible with the traditional strength of ISI'sdatabases. Specifically, it provides the means to integrate the traditional ISI database products, full-text sources, other secondary databases, Web pages and internally developed content. ISI is a database publisher that indexes bibliographic data, cited references and author abstracts from
Scientific
, technical, and medical sources. ISI maintains the most comprehensive, multi-disciplinary, bibliographic database of research
Information
in the world. The presentation will cover an overview of some current
Information
issues as well as ISI's newest web initiatives, e.g., Web of Science.ISI's approach to the future development of
Information
systems will also be discussed.
