INSPIRE Background: Operated by CERN (Geneva), DESY (Hamburg), Fermilab (Chicago), and SLAC (Stanford) and built on the Open Source Invenio digital library software, INSPIRE serves 1 million records to 50,000 High-Energy Physics researchers worldwide. INSPIRE, in production at http://inspirehep.net, provides fast metadata and full-text searches, author disambiguation, citation analysis, and is expanding its content and services in a community-centric approach, in addition to journal publications and other scientific contents. We anticipate users will soon be submitting scientific documents, and large scale recovery of historical OCR’ed material will take place, with hundreds of thousands of documents from 3 to 300 pages long. Further, we will explore and expand initiatives for figures and tables extraction from the text, as well as contextual information on references. Finally INSPIRE is heavily involved in Data Preservation initiatives in the HEP field and author ID initiatives in scholarly communications in general.
