Plenary 4: Embedding
Summary
SPIRES began as a system of preprint dissemination among colleagues at large institutions and labs and has evolved over time to become a comprehensive database of literature metadata and associated information. SPIRES' success has been due to its focus on the needs of a single user-community, unifying its content in a way that makes sense to the users: by subject. Modern technologies can now provide this functionality in a more effective manner and create services that are even more user focused. A new service, INSPIRE, will utilize SPIRES' experience and position as a subject repository combined with the modern Invenio digital library platform to enable user-generated content and further encourage community knowledge building.
