Abstract
We developed a data management system for animal genetic resources to enable the efficient registration and retrieval of characteristics/evaluation data. The method, which manages the data definitions of characteristics/evaluation research items as metadata, facilitates the insertion or updating of research items and produces program user interfaces and electronic files for characteristics/evaluation research manuals. A histogram of selection using AIC was tested and shown to be effective in sending information. In addition, a database was constructed to systematically register three layers (the variety's name category, genealogy, and individual name for the passport data), and a data input-output program was made for the passport data. A Web search system was developed to make the passport data available to the public. The system is expected to be useful for research into animal genetic resources, and improvement of education about such resources.
