What is the Science.gov Alliance?
The Alliance is a group of science mission departments, agencies and programs that have agreed to work together voluntarily to produce Science.gov. Vision and strategic direction are provided by the Alliance principals. Administration is provided by the chair or co-chairs selected from among the Alliance members. They are supported by Science.gov principals, which make routine decisions, and by a Technical Team, which provides technical direction and recommendations. Additional task groups have been created as needed to handle the development of the Science.gov taxonomy, to support content development and Web site management and to conduct promotional and outreach activities. Major support is provided by CENDI, a working group of high level scientific and technical information managers in 14 science mission agencies.
