The Authors report development of manufacturing-knowledge-database that deals the manufacturing stream and connection between knowledge of different manufacturing processes. Manufacturing knowledge databases tend to be developed independently in each process categories. However, the production is usually performed by multiple different processes as a stream from a raw material to a final product, and there is a problem that the former processes effect on the later process. Especially, it often takes important role in the improvement of the production and development of new technologies. It has been carried out in some huge enterprises to share the information between divisions dedicated to different manufacturing processes in a form to solve the problem, however, it is sometimes difficult for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) dedicated to a few manufacturing processes. The authors intend to develop the database components and its open applications for SMEs, that can connect each other across the manufacturing process categories and enable the collaboration of knowledge of database components. The authors investigate the point of the connection in change of internal state of materials and geometric effect and quality such as dimensions, roughness and structure of surface. The data is classified on each small topic including the above points to perform database component. The component is gathered manually and automatically at the presentation layer on web page and application software. The components are established with JAVA, HTML and XML on the network. The database is being developed on the IT-MT Unification Enterprise, one of enterprises of Digital Meister Projects of Small and Medium Enterprise Agency of METI..
