Acknowledgement Appreciate the efforts of member states and INIS

secretariat members- to establish the INIS to realize the ideal of peaceful use of nuclear technology for human beings of all the globe- to provide good deal of reliable nuclear information- to improve the system according to users needs e.g. ultimate benefit, cost fee- to keep the system up-dated by adopting the most advanced information technology

Thanks to the efforts above mentioned,INIS has been playing the role of the

Key knowledge resourcesin nuclear science and technology.

Issues of INIS Difficulty of keeping comprehensiveness of data

collection for INIS.- Dominant publishers provide bibliographic data of articles on electric journals free of charge.- Review to define ‘core journals’ to be input.- How to keep quality of INIS data as the base of NKM than quantity.

Difficulty of search method for ordinary users- Users prefer popular search engine e.g. Google, Yahoo!

Inefficiency of data input- Availability of tools (Metadata Extraction Tool, CAI) at each national center.

8

Future of INIS Strengthen the role of INIS as knowledge base of

NKM - to keep the quality of data as the NKM resources“Necessary specialists of information technology, subject analysis,

should be kept.” - to comply with popular search engine like Google, Yahoo, etc.- to provide analytical tool using INIS like a statistical analysis tool- to link the NSA (Nuclear Science Abstracts), ETDE data base

Enhance the efficiency of INIS operation- to be available of tools (Metadata Extraction Tool, CAI) at national centers

Tighten the partnership of INIS family- to enhance human resources of INIS member states JAEA is ready to accept persons of other Asian INIS national centers for a few months OJT on INIS input or INIS use, seeking TC framework of IAEA.
