    Science linkage index, which is the average citation frequency of scientific literatures in patents, has been a useful means for analyzing the relationship between scientific research and innovation. This indicator, however, does not reflect any information contained in the scientific literatures. In this study, we made a list of scientific literatures cited by influential patents, and gained bibliographic information by checking them up with Science Citation Index (SCI). From this analysis, we found that Japan is the third biggest producer of scientific literatures cited by influential patents, next to the U.S. and UK. And one global trend became clear that universities are great contributors to producing scientific knowledge as a source of patent inventions. The contribution of Japanese governmental research institutes is smaller than other countries. Finally, we found three problems with which Japanese life science is faced now, 1) number of patent applications is small, 2) patent inventors do not utilize scientific knowledge extensively, and 3) there are relatively fewer scientific literatures as a source of world-class patent inventions.

    RSS (RDF Site Summary) written by XML, is used to deliver the information such as title, URL and description of literature. In addition of name-space information, more detailed bibliographical data can be included in the RSS, and sophisticated delivery services linked up with any other web or XML services can be provided. In this paper, we describe the summary and common usage of RSS, and show the case study of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Research Information Center's services. The RSS's merits and developing methodology for practical service are also described. By using RSS, client-users can not only browse the information but also use the information to develop their new services. That is new concept of OPAC, OPAC2.0, and we summarized its future direction.

    Life Science Dictionary (LSD) is a versatile database of life science terms developed by our volunteer researchers (LSD project) since 1993. The most prominent feature of the LSD is that both English and Japanese terms are collected based on the frequency in the corpora of scientific documents, abstracts and textbooks. Here, we describe the current status of LSD services and its original database, together with the differences between English and Japanese terms uncovered through our recent development of life science ontology.

    At first, culture and then civilization have been accelerating evolution of the mankind. Consequentially, the mankind is now confronted with serious problems of limitof natural resources, public nuisance, and increasing population on the narrow earth. I would like to make certain proposition on desirable direction of Japan as a modern knowledge society, considering evolution of the mankind as the progress of information management.
