Abstract

Discusses the familiar problem of users are now confronted with the needs to impose order on myriad sources of information and to present them in an integrated way to users. Describes an attempt to provide such integration in the engineering field, Engineering Information Village, or Ei Village, produced by Engineering Information Inc. It resembles a WWW site, and integrates a traditional online abstracting and indexing service with access to WWW sites in the engineering field, contacts to engineering consultants, and access to other sources of interest to engineers. Explains how the metaphor of the village is carried though in the service and stresses the vetting process which seeks to guarantee that sources provided are authoritative. Also details the pricing of the service
