    DIPEx is a database of personal experiences of health and illness created by a research group at Oxford University, UK, which includes over 1,500 patient interviews. Part of the database is made accessible to public through the Internet. Patients, family members, and medical professionals can access the narratives of various illnesses in the form of video clips. Recently, several online-databases for illness accounts in print and weblogs have come into operation in Japan, but how does DIPEx differ from such databases? The author reviews the ideals and practices of DIPEx in the UK and reports on the current status of the Cancer Patient Narrative Database Project taking place in Japan.

    Since the beginning of the 21st century, science communication becomes more popular issues than ever in Japan. Several national educational projects started and many groups (NPOs, research groups, funding agencies, science centres, etc.) or individuals are putting various plans in execution. In this report, several practices on science communication by libraries are described, and the role of libraries as space in science communication is discussed. Libraries could play the key mediate roles in dual directional communication between society and sciences.

  • A study of patent document score using patent-specific attributes in citation analysis
    Yusuke SATO, Makoto IWAYAMA

    This paper describes experiments for defining the significance score of patent by using patent citations. We assume that the more highly a patent is cited, the higher significance score the patent has. Based on this assumption, we investigated what kind of patent-specific feature about patent citation is effective for detecting important patent. Through the experiments using Japanese patents, we found that the citation by applicant is more effective factor than the citation by examiner. We also found that the self citation is an important factor. By incorporating these findings to the significance score, about 65% samples of important patents appeared within the top 50 ranking.

  • Development of event-driven information system using RFID tags and its case study in the university

    This paper proposes an RFID tag based information system (middleware), which is defined by ECA (Event, Condition, Action) rules. RFID tags are used to indentify physical objects and it is very important technology to realize the ubiquitous computing society. However, it is not so easy to develop and customize systems where RFID tags are used. Using our framework, system designers can easily define the system's actions with ECA rules through a web browser. This paper describes the implementation, the interface and usage scenario of this system. Moreover, the preliminary experiment shows the effectiveness of this system.
