What Is OSTI?
OSTI is a program within DOE’s Office of Science, with a corporate responsibility for ensuring access to DOE R&D results.
Since 1947!
- Public access to unclassified, unlimited
- Restricted access to classified and sensitive
Energy Policy Act of 2005
"The Secretary, through the Office of Scientific and Technical Information, shall maintain within the Department publicly available collections of scientific and technical information resulting from research, development, demonstration, and commercial applications activities supported by the Department."
"…the Department's role as a source of information…is unique and indispensable in the advancement of energy technologies."* -- from Quadrennial Technology Review press release
"Our success should be measured not when a project is completed or an experiment concluded, but when scientific and technical information is disseminated…" -- from 2011 Department of Energy Strategic Plan

Access to Multimedia-based Science & Technology
A Case Study for Enhanced Multimedia Search & Retrieval
ScienceCinema
http://www.osti.gov/sciencecinema/
- Partnership between OSTI and Microsoft Research.
- Launched in February 2011; searches ~1,800 multimedia files.
- Utilizes Microsoft Research Audio Video Indexing System (MAVIS).
- Enables searching of digitized spoken content.
- Users can search for precise term within video and be directed to the exact point in the video where the term was spoken.
