JST is examining the project of "Failure and Knowledge Database" for the purpose of being utilized for R & D and operations in the field of science and technology. This database consists of three types of databases, "reports of sample cases", "factual data taken out from the reports" and "knowledge extracted by the specialists' analysis". By making these three databases related to each other, we intend to establish the system that will make the search results available "for anyone, at anytime and in any form".
