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.
Activities
The focus of SAGE KE is 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 can share and debate their understandings.
