Synopsis

Features leading edge research, new philosophies and innovative methodologies on materials information and database system utilization. 21 comprehensive, peer-reviewed papers, from an international body of materials data professionals, are divided into the following key areas: Materials Science and the Role of Virtual Experiments: three papers discuss alternative ways computers can best be used to support materials research and development. Progress and Refinement of Data Models: Using the Internet for comprehensive knowledge sharing; data model flexibility; and a new international standard, STEP, for representing and exchanging product data are among the issues explored in four papers. Expert Systems and Knowledge Organization: five papers examine how modern software technologies can be used to explore such areas as corrosion data, environmentally assisted cracking; and the exploration of unconventional natural gas reserves. New Aspects of Data Content, Data Evaluation: Environmental impact evaluation of materials engineering; concrete materials database guidelines; superconductor data evaluation methodology; and long term field corrosion test databases are among the topics presented in five papers. Advancement of Computer Technologies: four papers discuss the significance of materials microstructural information; microstructural classification; database performance and application; and future information systems designed for open world problem solving.
