The New Materials Center (NMC) in The Foundation of Osaka Science and Technology Center(OSTEC), Japan has been constructing materials databases on powder metallurgy, heat-registant alloys and amorphous alloys during this decade. These databases were independently constructed following the different formats. Thus it is difficult to use these databases by means of a common software. There are so many databases constructed from different concepts all over the world and their formats are in a wide variety.

NMC is now developing a new system for the document type definition (DTD) in order to realize the common use of different databases constructed from various viewpoints. This work was carried out as a project in VAMAS TWA-10(Theme: Computerized Materials Property Data). Outlines of this project in NMC would be presented at this conference.
