Nanoscience and Technology Database of China (NSTDB) has been established from May, 2000, sponsored by the Center of Nanoscience and Technology of Chinese Academy of Sciences and Computer Network Information Center of Chinese Academy of Sciences. By April, 2004, it is a large scale database with totally 10.5GB storages. And a special website (http://dc.casnano.ac.cn/) of nanoscience and technology based on this database has been established and provides 7X24 data retrieval services.

For the purpose of setting up this database, a metadata specification for the nanoscience and technology database has been researched and carried out, and also a metadata management tool is developed. So far, the following databases have been established or are being established:

  • Database of Public Patents of Nanoscience and Technology of China
  • Database of Authorized Patents of Nanoscience and Technology of China
  • Database of International Patents of Nanoscience and Technology
  • Database of Achievements of Nanoscience and Technology
  • Database of Nano Products Manufacturers
  • Database of Projects of Nanoscience and Technology
  • Database of Research Organizations of Nanoscience and Technology
  • Database of Experts in the Fields of Nanoscience and Technology Research
  • Database of Instruments and Equipments for Nanoscience and Technology Research
  • Database of Testing Technology of Nano
  • Database of Nano Products
  • Database of Nano Materials
  • Database of Abstracts of Nanoscience and Technology Papers

Some of the above databases have been published on Internet by our website, Chinese or foreigners who are interested in nanoscience and technology are welcome to visit our website and share nano data resulting from domestic and international researches on nanoscience and technology. And we do believe Nanoscience and Technology Database of China (NSTDB) has been facilitating the development of nanoscience and technology in China, even in the whole world.
