Developing a Materials Curation® Support System

Materials Curation ® is a method to search materials by combining scientific principles in multi-disciplinary way proposed by one of the authors. This method utilizes relations among various material properties to overcome a problem that experimental or calculation data on materials in an issue are not enough at all for big-data type analysis in machine learning. For the interdisciplinary use of scientific principles, the authors have developed a prototype of materials curation support system. Examples of relations among material properties, the concept of database of relations and searching relations, and the construction of the system including the database and searching program are described.
