definition: Short Title: IPYPD Project URL: http://biblioline.nisc.com/scripts/login.dll Proposal URL: http://classic.ipy.org/development/eoi/proposal-details.php?id=51 The IPY Publications Database will identify and index the publications that result from the International Polar Year 2007-2008. This activity is a crucial part of IPY data management. Providing searchable metadata for IPY publications is as important as providing searchable metadata for IPY datasets. The IPY Publications Database is essential for the identification, dissemination and preservation of the achievements of the IPY. Twenty years from now, when someone asks, "What did the IPY accomplish?". The IPY Publications Database will provide a major part of the answer. As described in later sections of this proposal, the IPY Publications Database will also make a significant contribution to achieving the legacy, education, outreach and communication targets of the IPY. The IPY Publications Database will be created by an expansion of the existing polar bibliographic infrastructure. The Cold Regions Bibliography Project (CRBP) at the American Geological Institute currently produces the Bibliography on Cold Regions Science and Technology and the Antarctic Bibliography. The Scott Polar Research Institute (SPRI) Library at the University of Cambridge produces the SPRILIB database and assists the CRBP with the Antarctic Bibliography. The Arctic Science and Technology Information System (ASTIS) at the Arctic Institute of North America, University of Calgary, produces the ASTIS database. All of these databases, and others, are combined by National Information Services Corporation (NISC) to produce the Arctic & Antarctic Regions (AAR) database describing more than one million polar publications. The IPY Publications Database will be created by dividing responsibility for the coverage of IPY publications between the CRBP, the SPRI Library and ASTIS; by using the IPY Data Policy to ensure that all IPY publications are rep…
