SNAME
Database Upgrade
Key Word Control Committee
volunteers invited
We
are upgrading our database to enhance direct on-line access
to all papers and other publications, through a subject key-word
index. We are starting with the Transactions and will soon have
all of the Annual Meeting papers from 1893 until today available
as pdfs. What must be done next is to categorize them by key
words, a job that requires considerable breadth and depth of
technical knowledge and is therefore best accomplished by member
volunteers under the supervision of a new Key Word Control Committee,
KWCC. The work will be done by the volunteers working remotely
and electronically, with no need for face-to-face meetings or
hard copy documents.
We
envision that once the KWCC is established, the committee will
be contacted by members who will volunteer to take responsibility
for a volume of Transactions, who will then download the established
list of key words, and carefully assign one or, more likely,
several key words to each paper. The selected key words will
be reviewed by the KWCC to ensure uniformity, and then entered
into the database. The goal is to designate key words for all
114 volumes of the Transactions by December 2007.
Service on this committee is an opportunity for experienced
members to share their expertise and help to define this important
technical resource. If you would like to serve on or chair the
KWCC please contact Prof. Alan Rowen at arowen@sname.org. |
