    A new online research service “ReaD&Researchmap” was officially launched in November 2011 as a result of full integration of the “ReaD”, Directory Database of Research and Development Activities provided by the Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST), and the “Researchmap” provided by the Research Organization of Information and Systems (ROIS). This article overviews how research information and resources were collected and used meeting the needs of the age with the technology available at that time, and it also presents some suggestions on how to develop a research information ecosystem (a recycle-based research information platform) in the born-digital age.

    This article overviews the ideals and practices of the Academyhills Roppongi Library opened in Tokyo in 2003 as a first-of-its kind private membership library. With the mission of helping individuals create innovation by letting them share knowledge, experiences and other achievements of our predecessors and contemporaries, the library provides members of society with a venue or a space where to promote new learning and foster collaboration. All kinds of efforts have been made ever since the launch of service to help institutionally-independent individuals establish personal links to each other and share information, well before the new words “learning commons” and “coworking” came in.

    Most of major scholarly journal articles overseas are published online in HTML as well as PDF. They are internally processed in SGML and/or XML, but distributed externally mostly in NLM DTD (NLM Journal Archiving and Interchange Tag Suite) that was developed and maintained by the US National Library of Medicine (NLM). On the other hand, it has been very difficult to produce XML data in NLM DTD from Japanese scholarly articles which have bibliographic data, abstracts and citation data both in Japanese and English, because NLM DTD was born in the English-speaking world. The authors formed a working group, SPJ (Scholarly Publishing Japan), and worked closely together with the NLM DTD working group in the US, and submitted several proposal how NLM DTD could support multi-language articles. This effort resulted in the multi-lingual features of NISO JATS (Journal Article Tag Suite) 0.4, formerly called NLM DTD 3.1, and was published in March, 2011. This article summerizes the history of markup languages such as SGML and XML in scholarly publishing, activities of SPJ, and the overview of JATS 0.4.

    Increase in computer performance in recent years enables us to obtain a variety of valuable knowledge from original data without structurizing text data. Text-mining is expected to play an important role in knowledge acquisition more and more in future. For instance, it will be useful for the management of technology (MOT) including decision making for “selection and concentration” strategy. However, the technique of text-mining for discovering knowledge, with the reliability which is necessary for decision making, has not yet fully been established. Statistical analysis is insufficient for acquiring knowledge trusted by managers. Therefore, in this article, authors verify whether human-computer collaboration, in which human-embodied knowledge is utilized for text mining, can be useful for MOT. To do so, taking an example of quantum dot solar cell, authors argue that “word sets”, in which words are selected carefully and are put together through human-computer collaboration, are useful for discovering knowledge meaningful for decision-making by companies who deal with huge amounts of text data.
