The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), US, a technical professional association for the advancement of technology, has announced that it will update the XML Gateway application used to send IEEE Xplore results to federated search engines. This application is used by several federated search vendors to retrieve IEEE documents, and the upgrade features a new and improved gateway that is compatible with the new ENDECA search engine that is used on IEEE Xplore.
If an organisation is using a federated search tool from one of the major vendors i.e. Ex Libris, Serials Solutions, EBSCO, the upgrade will occur automatically. Additionally, if an organisation has created a custom federated search tool for their institution, then the subscriber must update certain parameters to be compatible with the new XML Gateway.
IEEE Xplore seeks to deliver full text access to the world's highest quality technical literature in engineering and technology.
