國家高速電腦中心－化學與生物學數值資料庫服務業務簡介
Introduction to the Digital Databases of the Chemical and Biological Science
摘要
由於近年來化學和各相關領域的快速發展，化學物質的數值和事實資料的數量迅速累積。若沒有電子期刊下載或電子化的數值資料庫這樣的工具協助，研究人員不可能跟的上最新的學術進展。另一方面化學資訊產業也有快速的變化，新的資料庫產品和新的資料處理、搜尋和分析技術不斷的開發出來。這些先進的資料取回工具深遠的影響了我們做研究的模式。全國性的化學資料庫服務業務是一個國家科技發展的基礎建設之一，高速電腦中心以有限的經費推動這項業務，嘗試縮短台灣和其他國家之間的資訊落差，期望以讓國內的研究人員能站在相同的立足點在國際上競爭。這篇文章描述若干化學資料庫的最新發展，說明高速電腦中心化學資料庫服務業務的內容和影響。

Due to the rapid development in many fronts of chemistry and related fields in recent years, the numerical and factual information of chemical substances have been accumulating in an ever-increasing rate. It would be impossible to keep up with latest development in any field without the help of some kind of electronic journals retieval or electronic numerical database systems. In recent years the chemical information industry and services also evolve rapidly, new information contents and delivering technologies are developed and deployed, the advanced information retrieval tools have changed the way we conduct our research prodoundly. National chemical database service is a crucial component of the infrastructure for science and technology development in a country. With a limited budget, the chemical database service at National Center for High Performance Computing (NCHC) attempts to reduce the information gap between our country and others, so local scientists are on the same footing with scientists of other countries. The article describes the recent development of the chemical information services in general, and the services provided by NCHC in particlar. The usage and the impact of the database services of the past 5 years is reviewd.
