Expansion of the NASA Astrophysics Data System to Earth and Space Sciences

The NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS) is the primary Digital Library portal for Space Science Researchers. In addition to the scientific literature, the ADS has for a long time included in its database non-traditional scholarly resources such as research proposals, software packages, and high-level data products, making them discoverable and easily citable. Over the next three years, in response to NASA's efforts supporting interdisciplinary research and Open Science initiatives, the ADS will greatly expand its coverage of the literature, and will develop a new portal unifying access to the fields of Astrophysics, Planetary Science, Heliophysics, and Earth Science. It will also cover NASA funded research in Biological and Physical Sciences. The planned system will combine a scalable, discipline-agnostic core with a set of discipline specific knowledge centers which will curate and enrich its content using deep subject matter expertise from the NASA Science divisions. In this talk I will provide an overview of the ADS system, its distinguishing features, and then focus on our efforts to support and promote the FAIR principles as part of NASA's Year of Open Science initiatives.
