    The theme of this lecture was how genome information gives impact on R&D of pharmaceuticals. The speaker first describes what R&D of pharmaceuticals have been done, then does current status of genome analysis, human genes and genes which bring diseases on human beings, and principle of nowadays' R&D of pharmaceuticals, that is, relation among ligands, receptors, and antagonists. Ones likely find targets for R&D of new pharmaceuticals if they refer to gene study results. Once ones find those targets, they combine them with such traditional subjects areas as chemistry, physical chemistry, pharmacology and biology in their further R&D to lead to new pharmaceuticals. The speaker emphasizes significance in progress of bioinformatics where vast amount of information or knowledge being generated through gene studies can be linked effectively.

    Environment surrounding academic libraries are really changing from printed materials oriented to new challenges of library service and information resources due to rapid progress in information and telecommunication technology and WWW. The author extensively describes how university libraries are changing the services, collection, facilities, staff and users, and moving those to the new environment based on her experiences as a library director of the University of Washington Library. In parallel with price hike in printed materials, number and kinds of electronic information have increased. The budget ratio of electronic materials to the total collection budget has been increasing. The author also describes ILL of library collection among libraries, and joint subscription and licensing of electronic materials.

  • The development of information activities by aspect of knowledge management

    With IT innovation being progressed information activities have drastically changed from way of traditional information management to way of knowledge management. Now at this turning point we are seeking how well and what way we should reframe information activities as information planning section, and we have been working on for knowledge management activities. Based on the results of our working experiences we formulated"information sorting system" and"user needs grasping system" which form core function of knowledge management. We also report the system operation and rearranging method of information (converting from contents to context). Those system and method enable us to obtain and store user needs through daily information activities, and to reflect them in information activities to come.

    We report the crystal structure database and the data input assistant system being developed by JST. As for crystal structure database, there are many data items. Data input people not only enter the information described in papers which are data source but also standardize the crystal structures and the display items, and make the various additional data such as the structure type, diffraction data, so on. Thus we developed the comprehensive input assistant system which has advanced functions for those data input people. With this system we have come to make the highly reliable database. In this system we described the data definition by XML, which enables the system adjustable to the complicated input process.

    When we create web sites, we must place an index of all the contents on the top page so that visitors can easily find what they want. This is one of the most important things for a web site creator. But usually the content of a web site increases so rapidly that we find it quite difficult to maintain the index efficiently. In this context, a Full-text Search Engine system can provide easy navigation for the site visitors. Today, we often find Full-text Search Engine systems on web sites. This report provides an overviews of the several ways to attach the Full-text Search Engine to web sites.
