Registration of Danish energy literature and descriptions of energy research projects and cooperation with international information systems

The aim is obtained through cooperation with international and national databases, primarily ETDEWEB (results in the form of publications), Nordic Energy Index (descriptions of research and development projects) and the Danish Research Database. Literature: Registration of Danish energy literature is related to the Danish Energy Agency's membership of the Implementing Agreement for the Establishment of the IEA Energy Technology Data Exchange (IEA-ETDE). The product of this agreement is Energy Database - named ETDEWEB as the internet version. The membership of the agreeement obliges to deliver information to the database about the member country's own publications. All types of scientific and technical literature, including reports from the Energy Research Programme, journal articles and conference papers, are collected and registered according to ETDE's rules. The records are sent to ETDE's database regularly. Many reports are sent to the database in full text for direct download from ETDEWEB. All reports are available for loan from Risø Library. R and D projects: Descriptions of new ERP projects (granted under the Energy Research Programme) are registered from a form filled out by the project leaders when receiving the grant. When a project is completed, the existing record is updated with summaries of the result and with brief information about the publications from the project. The project descriptions are included in the databases Nordic Energy Index and the Danish Research Database, both being available for free for Danish as well as international users. Knowledge Center: Due to the tasks that Risø performs under this project, Risø acts as the Danish knowledge center for Danish energy R and D and offers advice on the use of energy databases such as ETDEWEB and Nordic Energy Index
