This study is intended to design and implement the SDI system based RSS by improving the cognitive route of research equipment information which is an important factor for the science & technology innovation focused on users, and by validating the materials and available information of research equipment easily, as the plan to facilitate the research equipment's common utilization.
Because there is insufficient research equipment information sharing and interaction between the researching points or subjects such as an university and research institution in Korea, various problems have been raised such as an unnecessary overlapped investment, insufficient professionalism․specialty and investment efficiency, and low common utilization. Hence, it is pointed out that the research equipment database hasn't been standardized by institutions and there is the low utilization because the research equipment is developed and operated focused by supplier.
The existing Selective Dissemination of Information(SDI) needs to be changed into the demander-oriented service of pull type which delivers information to users from the supplier-oriented service of push type which wait the user to use the information.
For it, the research equipment information service and RSS's theoretical background were reviewed through literatures. Then, the preceding studies were considered. Also, the results of investigating and analyzing the push type SDI service and RSS service examples were reflected on the design and implementation of the research equipment information's pull type SDI System.
For the design and implementation of full type SDI system of research equipment information, RSS 2.0 and Dublin Core Metadata Element Set 1.1, which is the metabase standard was applied. Then, RSS-XML metadata was designed, and SDI system was designed and implemented. In terms of the Internet service development tendency, Internet users changes, library development policy direction, and the ubiquitous library operation, the RSS service is expected to be utilized in the future.
Through SDI system based RSS implemented in this study, the differences from the existing SDI systems are followed.
The existing e-mail push service becomes effective to offer the information search technology-based SDI service by considering the user's personal tastes. RSS pull service which can improve the user's interests and utilization rate, is suitable to provide the current awareness service of relatively-simple form such as the new information, news, and tendency. In particular, the approach of RSS is secured through mobile device anywhere anytime. Also, RSS can easily call the desire feed with RSS read function, like saving the desired page as favorites in the web browser. Accordingly, it is expected that the library and information center will apply RSS to SDI service actively to enable the user to receive the interesting information selectively and automatically for the user's information approach and convenience improvement, by pursuing the advanced information technology and information environment.
