In an electronic publishing field, attention is being focused on XML. We constructed chemical article's multilingual (Japanese, Chinese and English) full-text database based on XML, and distributed it in the Web. The On-line Journal XML-DTD of NII (National Institute of Information) is adopted as the DTD of the database. Unicode is used as an encoding character code to represent those languages. To display the database in Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) 5.0,the data of the standard style sheets for XML (i.e. CSS and XSL) are added to the XML document. Applying VB Script and DOM, the elements selected by a user, such as title, author, abstract, bibliography, are extracted from the full-text database, and displayed in IE 5.0. Finally, we discussed the problems related with Unicode, expression of chemical formula, as well as schema.
