China Announces Academic Journal Search Engine
For a cost of $43 million U.S. dollars China has completed a national web project that allows Netizens to search the contents of 6,642 periodical (abt. 99% of Chinese academic periodicals). "If you ain’t listed, you ain’t nobody."
By going to CNKI (in Chinese) every important academic periodical can be searched. Wow, makes me wish I had studied Chinese harder.
China plans to spend the next five years creating an even huger database called the National Database of Knowledge Resources.
Google, Yahoo and Baidu are licking their lips, too. All of them want to get in on this search action.
The project is being overseen by Qinghua University and Qinghua Tongfang Internet Technology Co. Ltd.
