    The Journal of Biochemistry is an international, monthly journal published by the Japanese Biochemical Society. We opened the World Wide Web site of this journal (JB-Online) on April 1st, 1996. Fifteen months have passed, and now we receive more than 30,000 access per month from 81 countries. The `Center for Academic Publications Japan" and the `Business Center for Academic Societies Japan" cooperated to build the JB-Online within half an year. We report the process to establish the electronic publishing system, and we also discuss the concept to open such a web site along with the printed journal.

    The author discusses, based on several specific examples, the issues around copyrights in factual databases as follows:(1)Can individual information (material) such as numerical values, terms, texts, charts and pictures in a factual database be copyrightable? (2)How do rights of the original and secondary authors extend to the material in a factual database derived from an original work? (3)In what cases can the selection or systematic organization of the contents be copyrightable, in construction of a factual database? (4)Is there any copyrightability in a factual database whose organization is taken from other one?
