Materials Database Group
Storage to knowledge, Database to Knowledge base
2022.05.10 UpdateThe Materials Database Group has been conducting research and development with the goal of creating a sustainable materials database and quality control even in the era of Big Data. As the world is flooded with a variety of data and information, the balance between quantity and quality in the collection of such data and information will make materials informatics more practical. On the other hand, not only the databases owned by NIMS, but also databases on various topics from various institutions can be linked on a single academic principle to create a large knowledge base and generate knowledge that is beyond the reach of human knowledge. The Materials Database Group aims to build a knowledge base that can be shared by materials researchers.
