International Energy Subject Categories and Scope
- eds.
The purpose of this publication is twofold: (1) to support organizations or individuals who select informational materials for inclusion in the ETDE Energy Data Base and (2) for use as an aid in database searching. Subject categories and corresponding codes are established to define the scope of, or degree of interest in, energy information to be selected by those who enter machine-readable bibliographic records into the Energy Data Base. For persons conducting online searching or creating selective dissemination of information (SDI) subsets, this publication facilitates the selection of energy topics. These scope notes and category definitions also apply to online energy databases identified as ENERGY on STN International (Federal Republic of Germany) and as ENERGY SCIENCE TECHNOLOGY offered by DIALOG Information Services, Inc. (USA). The subject scope of the database encompasses all technological aspects of energy production, conversion, and efficient utilization, as well as related economic, social, and political aspects. Major topical areas are fossil fuels, renewable energy sources, nuclear energy, fusion energy, energy storage and conversion, end-use technology, advanced energy systems, and energy policy. Coverage also includes aspects of chemistry, engineering, environmental science, biomedical science, physics, mathematics, computer science, materials, and instrumentation related to energy technology. Subject categories are used to define broad subject areas in the field of energy, and can also provide a powerful tool in both increasing the relevancy of retrieval and simplifying the search strategy needed to retrieve a specific concept.
