Materials Curation®: Material Search with Multidisciplinary Use of Scientific Principles

Abstract

A method for interdisciplinary material search using knowledge database, materials curation^Ⓡ, has been proposed. It enables the finding of a direction of search without numerical data from experiments or calculations. The knowledge used is a compilation of relations between materials properties. Examples of the compilation and the computer system used to search the compilation (in the form of network-type database) are demonstrated. Furthermore, a technique is under development to extract knowledge on quantitative relations from mathematical formula in literatures.
