Abstract
Five electrical and information related institutes* and the National Institute of Informatics (NII) have created a web database on the history of Japanese electrical technologies. The Database on Noteworthy Japanese Contributions to Electrical Technologies (DB-JET) is filled with content that should be of interest to professional engineers and the general public.
This article outlines DB-JET and gives a brief history of its development, especially the contribution of IEEJ.
(*) The five are the Institute of Image Information and Television Engineers (ITE), the Information Processing Society of Japan (IPSJ), the Illuminating Engineering Institute of Japan (IEIJ), the Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan (IEEJ), and the Institute of Electronics, Information and communication Engineers (IEICE).
