    Recently, biomedical researchers have been facing the vast repository of research papers, e.g. MEDLINE. These researchers are eager to search biomedical correlations such as protein-protein or gene-disease associations. The use of natural language processing technology is expected to reduce their burden, and various attempts of information extraction using NLP has been being made. However, the framework of traditional information retrieval (IR) has difficulty with the accurate retrieval of such relational concepts. This is because relational concepts are essentially determined by semantic relations of words, and keyword-based IR techniques are insufficient to describe such relations precisely.Here, we propose an intelligent search engine for the accurate retrieval of relational concepts from MEDLINE, MEDIE, and a GUI-based efficient MEDLINE search tool, Info-PubMed.

    The author reported the survey on the contribution rules of the Japanese academic journals in the field of science and technology in this journal in 2005. This time, the author collected the contribution rules of 172 journals of 167 academic societies in the field of humanities and social science, analyzed the details of the same 18 written items, and compared them with the results of the last survey and the similar study reported by Yuiko Teramura in 1997. The purpose of this report is to get current status and differences of the contribution rules in these fields under the degitalization. This report shows the outlines of contribution rules and the analysis of 11 items. The analysis of other 7 items, and consideration about this survey will be provided in next report.

    Since the first release of its licenses in 2002, Creative Commons (CC) increasingly expanded its activities, and today there are more than 1.4 billion contents under various CC licenses in over 50 languages worldwide. Over the recent years, methods of exploiting potentials of the licenses and the organizations of related agents have importantly diversified. Today, the initial public image of CC as being modeled “by and for the lawyers” in order to “promote free contents circulation” is dynamically evolving into a more real-world business compatible system. In this paper, we present an overview of the evolution of CC licenses so that to render a possible horizon of the movement, from the point of view of “business model” and “Web 2.0”.
