The Network for Inter-ministerial Computing Infrastructure (NICI) was developed between 1996 and 1998, connecting key research institutions. This network enhanced access to drug and chemical databases via the World Wide Web.

Area of Science:

  • Information Science
  • Network Engineering
  • Pharmacology

Context:

  • Development of the Network for Inter-ministerial Computing Infrastructure (NICI) occurred from June 1996 to May 1998.
  • Direct network lines were established between the Experimental Stations for Medicinal Plants at Tsukuba, Tsukuba Node for Inter-Ministry Network, Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Evaluation Center in Minato-ku, and NIHS in Setagaya-ku, Tokyo.
  • The National Institute of Health Sciences (NIHS) main frame remained consistent since May 1996.

Purpose:

  • To establish direct network connectivity between research and evaluation centers.
  • To provide enhanced access to valuable databases and information on Drugs, Foods, and Chemicals.
  • To integrate World Wide Web technology with existing databases for improved usability.

Summary:
