Abstract

This short paper is intended as an additional progress report to share our experiences in Indonesia on collecting, integrating and disseminating both global and local scientific data across the country through the web technology. Our recent efforts are exerted on improving the local public access to global scientific data, and on the other hand encouraging the local scientific data to be more accessible for the global communities. We have maintained well-connected infrastructure and some web-based information management systems to realize such objectives. This paper is especially focused on introducing the ARSIP for mirroring global as well as sharing local scientific data, and the newly developed Indonesian Scientific Index for integrating local scientific data through an automated intelligent indexing system.
