Feasibility Study on International Mutual Access to Science Information

由于科学研究的国际化，国家科学信息系统中心(NACSIS)也认识到与海外组织合作开展国际项目的必要性。为此，NACSIS与美国国家科学基金会(NSF)启动了以“蒙布霍国际科学研究计划”为基础的国际联合研究。这项联合研究始于1988年，基于国家科学基金会主任Eric Bloch先生和该研究的首席调查员兼NACSIS总干事Hiroshi Inos博士之间的非正式协议。第一个是向美国研究人员提供NACSIS开发的数据库服务。第二种是将美国国家科学信息系统运行的科学信息网直接连接到美国网络，并审查联网操作。第一种是通过Insta…终端使用国家科学信息系统的数据库NSF的更多LLED项目于1989年1月成功启动。NACSIS在联合研究期间提供了数据库访问的试验服务，而NSF则安排了一项检索服务来回应美国研究人员的要求。自1990年8月以来，请求接受的范围扩大，使用量大大增加。试验一开始就认识到，从美国到日本的信息流是压倒性的，迫切需要纠正这一趋势。NACSIS希望向美国提供一个自己准备的数据库，以了解美国研究人员使用该数据库的真实情况，并从美国研究人员那里获得适当的意见。目前，正在试行《学术会议记录》、《博士学位论文》、《科学研究助学金》等。在这些服务中，“学术会议记录”数据库的使用有所增加。从1989年开始，数据库服务的范围已经扩大，甚至在国会图书馆(LC)也安装了提供同样试验服务的终端。网络的互连在1989年1月部分开始。最初，与CSNET的电子邮件连接是由NACSIS通过安装在NSF的工作站开始的。此后，在乔治·华盛顿大学的合作下，实现了与Bitnet的邮件连接。此外，通过东京NACSIS的邮件系统，使CSNET/BITNET和国内MHS的邮件相互连接成为可能。这些操作仍在联合研究计划下进行，并正在对美国互联网和日本互联网在“科学信息网”上的新连接进行审查。这项研究将于1991年启动，并将创造一个使用TCP/IP的国内外通信环境。有了这些成果，研究于1991年3月在华盛顿特区进行了最后的讨论，结束了研究工作。较少

As a result of the internationalization of scientific research, the National Center for Science Information System (NACSIS) has also recognized the necessity of carrying out international projects in cooperation with overseas organization. Therefore, the international joint research based on "Monbusho International Scientific Research Program" was started between the NACSIS and the National Science Foundation (NSF), U. S. A.. The joint research started in 1988, based upon informal agreement between Mr. Eric Bloch, Director of the NSF and Dr. Hiroshi Inose, head investigator of the research and Director General of the NACSIS.The joint research is being carried out on two themes. The first one is to provide database services developed by the NACSIS to U. S. researchers. The second is to connect the "Science Information Network" operated by the NACSIS directly to the U. S. network and to review a networking operations.For the first one, the use of NACSIS's database through terminals insta … More lled at NSF successfully started in January 1989. Trial service for database access was made by NACSIS during joint research, while the NSF arranged a retriever service to respond to U. S. researcher's requests. Since August 1990, the range of request acceptance has been expanded, so that the usage has greatly increased.The said trial was started with recognition that the information flow from U. S. to Japan was overwhelming, and a correcton of this trend was desperately needed. The NACSIS wanted to supply a database prepared by itself to U. S. to know the real situation of use of the said database by U. S. researchers, and to get proper opinions from U. S. researchers. At present, trial service is being offered for "Academic Conference Records", "Thesis for Doctorial Degrees", "Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research", etc.. Among these services, the use of the database of "Academic Conference Records" has increased. From 1989, the scope of database services has widened, and a terminal has been installed even in the Library of Congress (LC) for offering same trial service.Interconnection of the networks was partially started in January 1989. Originally, the electric mail connection to CSNET was started through the workstation installed at the NSF by the NACSIS. Thereafter, with the cooperation of George Washington University, mail connection to Bitnet was realized. Moreover, a mutual connection between CSNET/Bitnet and mail by domestic MHS was made possibile through NACSIS's mail system at Tokyo.Operation of these is still being performed under the joint research program, and a review is being made on the new connection between U. S. Internet and Japanese Internet on "Science Information Network". The oporation will be started in 1991, and a domestic and international communication environment using TCP/IP will be created.Having these results, the research was concluded in March 1991 by conducting final discussions at Washington D.
