EspañolSTANFORD PHYSICS INFORMATION RETRIEVAL SYSTEM
(Redirected from SPIRES)
The 'Stanford Physics Information Retrieval System' (SPIRES) is a bibliographic physics database management system (DBMS). It was written at Stanford University in the late 1970s as a text-based system.[1] The primary authors were Thomas H. Martin , Dick Guertin and Bill Kiefer. It has also come to refer to a particular application using this DBMS that provides a bibliographic database for High Energy Physics literature.
Modified and expanded to be used on a variety of mainframe platforms, it was the program used for the library circulation management database ''Socrates'' at most universities in the US from the early 1980s on, and became the primary database management system for Stanford University business and student services in the 1980s and 90s.
The DBMS now runs on Unix or Linux and is available under Mozilla Public License from Stanford University ITS
The SPIRES High Energy Physics database (SPIRES-HEP),[2] installed at Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) in the 1970s[1], became the first database accessible through the World Wide Web in 1991[4]. It has since expanded into a joint project of SLAC, Fermilab, and DESY, with mirrors hosted at those institutions as well as at the Institute for High Energy Physics (Russia), the University of Durham (UK), the Yukawa Institute for Theoretical Physics at Kyoto University (Japan), and LIPI (Indonesia). This project stores bibliographic information about the literature of the field of High Energy Physics and is an example of academic databases and search engines. It is accessible at SPIRES High Energy Physics database.
SPIRES currently runs on Unix and Linux platforms. Its primary use today is for the world physics communities.
