Abstract
To manage new emerging environmental and technological risks, for example, food safety risks such as BSE, and health risks of electro magnetic fields, it is necessary to catch early signals of the risks, and to originate warning at the early stage. For this purpose, a clearinghouse for food safety risks was designed and contents of the clearinghouse was collected from the WWW by using natural language processing techniques. The collected contents were reviewed by experts in food safety risk analysis.
