NTIS Mission
To promote progress (Technology Transfer) by serving as the Federal Government’s central means of making science (all federally funded science research) and technical information perpetually and widely available (greater availability means more open access).
“Maintain a permanent archival repository and clearinghouse for the collection and dissemination of nonclassified scientific, technical, and engineering information.” (Guidelines for Federal Agency Repositories)
15 USC 3710(d)(3)

Vision
Ensure easy and perpetual availability of the most comprehensive collection of Federally-funded scientific, technical and engineering information (STEI) in support of the nation’s economic growth and opportunity.
Assist other federal agencies in accomplishing the information needs of their constituencies with repository development support.
Provide this public good at a high level of quality and on a self-
sustaining basis.

S&T Repository Landscape: 10 Years Ago• Who?
• Large agencies who “do” science• Overarching aggregators such as NTIS and GPO• Collectors, such as the federal and corporate
libraries• What?
• Focused on agency output or mission • Mixture of metadata and access to full text• Often discriminated by format or document type
– data in data centers, technical reports in information centers
• Little connection between the various types of content
• Science.gov provides federated search across multiple public repositories

Then Came Open Access• Directive from OMB in February 2013
• Establishes open public access as the default for government data
• Defines data broadly• Includes commercially published literature
funded by the government• Requires agency plans by August 2013• Ultimately includes the full information life cycle
• Followed by additional memo in May 2013• Treats government information as a public asset• Data must be human and computer usable• No proprietary formats - XML is the most likely
approach

NTIS Federal Science Repository Service (FSRS)
The FSRS is based on open-source approaches, is durable against technological changes, and is flexible enough to support broad and varied uses, increasing access to the Federal Government’s data and information. Storage and preservation of diverse
resources Ingestion of distributed content Access control customized to agency
requirements A robust interface with advanced
metadata and full text search, filtering, and full-text and media display
