    By examining scientific articles cited by patents, we can learn the strength of linkage between technology and science. We studied Japanese patents, which are rarely surveyed, and measured the strength of the linkage between the four priority technological fields in the Science and Technology Basic Plan and science. Biotechnology has the strongest linkage with science. Nano-technology has the second strongest linkage with science. Information technology and environmental improvement technology have weak linkage with science. This outcome suggests that the creation process of technological knowledge varies depending on technology areas.

    Preservation of cultural heritage of all types has been one of the focus of UNESCO’s activities. In view of the rapid growth of born-digital information and subsequently increasing concern with the preservation of such digital information for next generation, UNESCO at its 32nd General Conference held in October 2003 adopted unanimously the Charter on the Preservation of the Digital Heritage. The Charter contains the scope of digital heritage, guarding against loss of heritage, measures required, responsibilities of member states governments, organizations concerned and UNESCO. The Charter (in Japanese translation) is introduced together with the backgound and consultation processes for the preparation of the Charter. Reference is made also to other related UNESCO Recommendation and Declaration.

    The Kanagawa Prefectural Kawasaki Library newly built the “Deposit Library for Science and Technology Journals in Foreign Languages” in April, 2004. The Deposit Library collects the back issues of scholarly journals, which should be abandoned due to the shortage of storage space in the company library. The purpose is to keep those journals in the Noba-storage in Kounan-ward, Yokohama, and help people investigate and research widely. It is an outstanding and pioneering approach in Japan as a result of the close relationship between The Kanagawa Association of Libraries and Information and The Kanagawa Prefectural Kawasaki Library.

    Japan Biological Informatics Consortium (JBIC), with the participation of a broad range of industries, was founded in November 1998. The missions of JBIC are to speed- up research and development by applying information technology to the biotechnology industries and to create new industries in the biotechnology field. JBIC was reorganized in July 2000 as a non-profit organization under the auspices of five ministries and agencies (currently 4 ministries) with interests in the biotechnology field. Under the Biotechnology Strategy Guidelines established by the Government in December 2002, JBIC is has been expected to play a central role as a contact to the industry. JBIC is engaged in creating several life science databases that enable related information to be used in all Bio-IT fields. JBIC will also contribute to the creation of new industries by promoting the standardization of information on the life sciences through international cooperation.

    The Intellectual Property Management Program provided by the Tokyo Institute of Technology aims at educating people with engineering background to get them highly potential to be engaged in intellectual property management for industries or universities (referred to simply as organizations below) immediately after their graduation. The Program responds to such needs that those organizations urge to have proficient human resources who do optimal protection of inventions and utilization of patents in advanced technology areas such as software, biosciences, nanotechnology, created and obtained by such organizations, with their international viewpoints. The human resources with such management ability is expected to ultimately contribute to extract values of those organizations as much as possible. The author describes the Program.
