Everything about Sage Ke totally explained
The
Science of Aging Knowledge Environment (SAGE KE) is an
online scientific resource provided by the
American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), which also publishes the journal
Science.
History and Organization
The American Association for the Advancement of Science established a
collaboration with
Stanford University Libraries and The Center for Resource Economics/Island Press (Island Press) in 1996 to find means to utilize
internet-based technologies to enhance access to scientific information and improve the effectiveness of information transfer. The collaborative coined the term
Knowledge Environment (KE) to describe the collection of
electronic networking tools they were seeking to develop.
SAGE KE is the third in a series of Knowledge Environments developed by
Science and
AAAS, after the
Signal Transduction Knowledge Environment (STKE) and AIDScience. Funding for SAGE KE comes from
The Ellison Medical Foundation
, founded and supported by
Oracle Corporation CEO Larry Ellison.
SAGE KE published its final issue on 28 June 2006 due to lack of funding. The interactive content was discontinued during the Summer of 2006, leaving the SAGE KE site as an archive by August 2006.
Activities
The focus of
SAGE KE was to provide timely access to information about advances on basic mechanisms of
aging and age-related
diseases through the
internet, to provide searchable
databases of information on aging and to provide an active environment in which
biogerontologists could share and debate their understandings.
Ouroboros
Ouroboros is a
WordPress community
weblog devoted to research in the
biology of aging. It was established in July 2006 in reaction to the termination of the SAGE KE. The primary mission of the site is to provide timely commentary and review of recently published articles in the scholarly literature, either directly or indirectly related to aging. Articles on the site discuss a range of scientific topics, including
Alzheimer's disease,
bioinformatics,
calorie restriction, regulation of
gene expression, the role of
mitochondria in the aging process, and
evolutionary theories of aging.
