FIZ Karlsruhe — Leibniz Institute for Information Infrastructure, formerly Fachinformationszentrum Karlsruhe, is a not-for-profit company with the public mission to make sci-tech information from all over the world publicly available and to provide related services in order to support the national and international transfer of knowledge and the promotion of innovation. The service institution is member of

1. STN International, the online service for sci-tech research and patent information, offers a wide array of databases, the FIZ AutoDoc full-text delivery service, and retrieval, analysis, and visualization functions. STN is developed and operated by FIZ Karlsruhe in cooperation with CAS (
   Compendex, Derwent World Patents Index, INPADOC, the USPTO Genetic Sequence Database (USGENE),^[4] and GENESEQ.^[5] In May 2009,^[6] FIZ Karlsruhe became the European marketing agent for the SequenceBase
   data subscription version of USGENE.
2. KnowEsis comprises e-Science solutions, e.g. digital infrastructures, independent of scientific disciplines, that support the process of research in all its stages, from idea to experiment, analysis, data aggregation, and publication. The activities focus on virtual research environments, hosting, and long-term availability.
3. Databases and Information Services comprises both conventional database production and the development and operation of science portals in the following subject areas:
   • Mathematics and computer science: The main product here is
     zbMATH
     (Zentralblatt für Mathematik), an abstracting service in mathematics research, offering detailed abstracts and reviews dating back to 1868. The computer science portal io-port.net provides access to computer science publications from all over the world.
   • Crystallography and chemistry: The Inorganic Crystal Structure Database (ICSD). FIZ Karlsruhe also indexes scientific publications for the CA database on behalf of Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS).
   • Energy: On behalf of the
     Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology
     (BMWi), FIZ Karlsruhe’s BINE information service supports the targeted dissemination of research results in the fields of energy efficiency and renewables.

FIZ Karlsruhe also conducts applied research on data management, information mining and information retrieval in close collaboration with academic institutions and research organizations and offers professional training and support to young scientists.
